the gear only is effected by your rear end gearing and tire size. mph is the speedo itself

So, according to the chart, if I have a '94 GT 5 speed, and swap a 3.73 in for the current 3.08, I won't be able to get a correct speedometer reading unless I change both the drive and driven gears, correct?

that is correct my friend

changing the drive gear is easy though.
