The gauge is not accurate, with your present gearing, which is shorter 
than stock with you shorter tires the car will only do 55-56 mph on the 
Rev limiter, Sorry but that's the way that it is!  You can check your 
Speedo against mile makers on the highway at 60 on your speedo it should 
take about 63 secs.



Later!
