Default little help please

I bought a 89 mustang Lx which used to be a 4 banger automatic. When I bought the car it had a 5.0 H.0 motor with a 4 banger tranny. I put in a 93 5spd cobra tranny in the stang. My speedometer is off by I want to say at least 20-25 mph. I have a 4.10 gear in the back I bought the correct speedo gear. It feels better since I put the new gear and tranny in my rear tires are 235 and there suppose to be 225 I think. My sisters boyfriend said since the car was orignaly an automatic with a 4 banger and now I have a v-8 5spd my speedometer problay needs to be recalibrated. What do you guys think I need to do to fix my speedmoeter or at least keep it 5-10 mph off I wanna keep my 4.10
