Those speeds are not compatible with the ratios you provide.  Suspect the
speedometer was never re-calibrated for the rear end change.  Auto Club
dyno tests free at locations throughout L.A.  Good Speedo shop in valley
calibrates and fixes our speedos, has a dynamometer test for $35, and a
52.8 foot test strip free, to check your overall and instrument accuracy.
Cheap insurance before making judgement error on bad data.  Recommend
getting actual facts before jumping, those numbers do not add.
