Since it's advertised that 3.55 gives you an 15% increase in vehicle speed
for a given rpm that's exactly how much the speedo will be off. 1.5 MPH for
every 10 or 7.5 for 50 MPH. When the speedo says 50 you will be going 57.
You could build some Kentucky windage into the speedo by setting the needle
to around 5 MPH with it sitting still.
