    I finally got my 3.40 center section in today. It is working great. However it is not as radical as I expected which is probaly best. It will give it more power on the bottom end. Does this change my speed odometer? It seems that I am not going as fast as it says.

    Yes it does change your speedo reading.

    You will need to change the speedo gear in trans at the end of the speedo cable . Go to a speedo repair shop in your area they will be able to help you . They should have a chart to help you get the speedo calibrated .
