Default 3.73 question

Would 3.73s make me peg the rev limiter until I get my speedometer reset? I've heard it could and I want to make sure before I go all helter skelter on my go fast pedal.

In my A4, I hit the rev limiter at the end of 3rd gear at 5900. Speedo showed 160ish, probably more like 130. So, yes it would hit early.

so 3.73s screw the speedo that much eh? My main concern is I'm NEVER going faster than about 125 or so and I want to make sure I don't break anything when I start havin fun with it. Pegging rev limiters = BAD.
