You will not notice any difference. Though your speedo will be off, you should have it recalibrated.

I wouldnt worry about recalibrating your speedo. At 60mph, it will only be off by 2.6mph. At 35mph, it will be off by 1.5mph.

My truck is off by 4-5 mph at 60mph. Which means that when my speedo says 60mph...I am actually going 64-65mph
