There is an equation for finding out top speed depending on tire size and gearing, can you do it backwards?

I think the equation is on the Racing Beat website.

Look on felixs site. It is in my sig. He has a chart there IIRC that gives tooth counts.

It's easy, you divide the number of teeth on the ring by the number on the pinion. To work it out just put a mark on one of the teeth with a marker pen and start counting.
