Messed up my gauges

Hey guys. I bought white gauges for my camaro, and i think messed up the speedo when putting the plastic cover back on. I know in 4th gear(M6), the tranny ratio is 1, so how fast is the car supposed to be going at 1,000RPM in 4th gear on stock tires?

I wanna say it's something like 20mph. I sat in traffic last night in first gear @ 5mph @1krpm, second gear @ 10mph @1krpm, third gear @15mph @ 1krpm. So I'm assuming it would be 20mph@ fourth?

i dont think that's correct, because the gears dont step down by a factor. Thanks for the input though

EDIT- and i know its around 20-30 mph, but i want to know exactly, so i can put it in cruise in 4th at 1k and put the needle back where it should be, exactly.

DOUBLE EDIT- WAIT! it was exactly 5mph at 1k in 1st gear? cuz that would solve my problem
