I know what you are talking about. Actually it looks like you're writing about a 2001 Mustang. I had a 2000 GT and had 3.73 gears installed and had the same problem. I tried taking it to Ford and they said they couldn't set any gear ration that wasn't offered from the factory. I don't think your odometer test mode will work either since the computer still thinks you have 3.27 gears. If I remember right, they (Ford dealer) changed the computer setting to different size wheels which reduced the speedo error but didn't eliminate it.
if your speedo is calibrated for the stock 3.31 rear end ratio and you have 3.73's then the speedo will read faster than what you're actually going. now if you went from 3.73's to the stock 3.31's then you would be going faster than what the speedo says.
