I'm waiting for a call back from my local mustang speed shop to find out what gear will correct this. I'm thinking either a 20T or 19T. Iwould like to have it run a lttle faster than my actual speed. Maybe 3 mph faster like factory vehicles.

Ok, I went up and talked to Doug at peformance-plus.com today and he gave me a black 20 tooth gear(for free). He said each tooth up or down will change the speedo by 4-5 mph. I will get it installed soon, and test it against the GPS and let you know.

Ok, so I finally got my 20 tooth gear in today. I checked it with the GPS and it is perfect at 60mph.

I think I put in the 19T right? LOL

Good to know, I will keep it in mind when I pull my tanny this winter!

Thanks
