A speedometer shop would be the best bet as they can simply change the plastic driven gear in your transmission to one that gets you very close to a correct reading:

What I did was get and mount a GPS on my windshield showing speed and then doing as Mark suggested using different gears [teeth count] till I zeroed it in. BTW my trans is a TH350
