Question tach vs speedo in 88 N/A 5-speed

I'm pretty sure my speedometer is reading pretty low - worse the faster I go. Can anybody give me an accurate reading on their speedometer at 3000 RPM in each gear?
If you didn't read the title I've got an '88 N/A 5-Speed

Thanks,
Emory

I belive your 88 'vert has 3.9 gears in the rear instead of the normal 4.1 gears. Be sure to include that in your calculations :O
