I GUESS i'MM IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU ARE. Speedo wise anyway. I was
recently ticketed at 74 mph while my tach read 3200 and my speedo
indicated 60mph. The county mounty assured me that he was accurate
because he had followed me for several miles. Now it seems that my
speedo is approx 20% off. How fast will it go? I don't know but I have
run over 4000 rpm in OD with lots of throttle left. I'll let you
mathmaticians figure it out.
