You have 11.1:1 gears? or 6:1 like in your sig

A polini with a pg long should do 10k.

What top speeds are you looking for?

A trail tech vapor gauge does this already

Front pulley speed is represented by the tachometer.
Rear pully speed is represented by the Speedometer.

This calculator lets the user input the engine RPM and speed in MPH and it calculates the variator ratio.

It is also handy to figure out gear ratios based on tooth count only.

With 7.97:1s and a Giant 97mm Drive Face, Flash 3.2 went 66.3 MPH turning a bit over 10K -

Wheelman's 66.3mph @ 10k shows a variator ratio of 0.92:1 which is not too bad. .085:1 would be ideal for top speed.
