Quick question on my tire size

[LOCHNESS]

I have a 7:1 ratio with 19 in tires, the calculator on here said it's a top speed of 29mph but when my wife was following me on a flat road she said she was doing 37 behind me. I guess my question is does a 19 in tire have that much effect? Btw it's a pantera ty rail with a governed predator 212, tires are 19x7-8

I don't think you can complain about that!

Haha no way no complaints at all I was just surprised when she told me cuz I knew it was pretty quick just didnt kmow it was that quick. I rarely hit that speed anyways cuz I mainly drive around our ranch in the Texas Hill Country.

well simple actually...

I can see from the pic, that you have a TC installed.. looks to be a series 30, which means it has an 10% overdrive at top speed..
so with 19" tyres that's 32.3 mph already;
say you have your engine set to govern at 3800 instead of 3600 (which is indeed possible )
then your top speed should be 34 mph..

37... difficult tbh that's above 4000 rpm.. a point at which it may not be too pleasant of an outcome ... I think the governor wheel itself (tiny plastic piece with steel inserts) is not safe above 4000-4100 rpm and you're already getting really close...
so let's hope it was a misreading on your wife's part

PS use a proper calculator perhaps
I'm not saying you should use kartcalc.net from your mobilephone (since it'd also has a gps tach if you're really curious and it doesn't even cost anything) since that'd be blunt advertising for my own stuff.. and I don't do that
