My 390 does 80 at 3kRPM, and I checked it against GPS.

Your speedo may be overreading...

Agree with above.

If you want your speedo to read right take a look here at what's required:

www.speedycables.com/faq8.htm

I did this to calibrate my speedo after upgrading wheels to 15", replacing diff and G/B. IMHO it's easier and cheaper to do this rather than trying to get the ratio correct at the G/B end. Speedo is now spot on as measured against my satnav GPS.
