(those people who post photos of their speedoes in that range have a 3-5% over read).

I never noticed the top speed thing at all

, but that figure is a 10%+ over read... gotta be something seriousley wrong if that's the case unless they are getting mid to upper 150's with the lower over read.

Anyway... 0-60......

One of the advantages of changing the gears is that you have to re-calibrate your speedo.

I beileve that mine is now no more than 1% out.

I find that tyre pressures can change the reading by 0.5% and changing from my 17" wheels to my track day set has almost a 1% change. But a quick twiddle of my yellow jacket adjuster and I'm running <0.5% off the GPS reading at 100 mph
