The RPM to MPH Calculator is correct, I dont know about the others as I did not check. I compared it to ours at http://www.jawsgear.com/calc_rpm.html for confirmation.

Those MPH/RPM calculators are not very realistic for calculating top speed. They might come close when the car is on a dyno with no loading. Wind resistance at high speeds would keep actual speed somewhat less than those calculators estimate.
