Wow, my car is fast!

Just put on my SSI's, dual in dual out muffler and a bunch of other stuff including a new speedo sensor. Took it for it's first drive and according to my speedo I am going roughly 50 mph at 3000 rpm in first gear! But wait there's more, I can hit almost 130 mph in third! As much as I would like to believe this, I think my speedo sensor is doubling my speedometer reading. Has this happened to anyone? Do I have the wrong sensor?

It's supposed to be ring and pinion, NOT pinion and ring.

With SSIs, I think that is fairly much correct
