Only reading the original post, I'd assume the discrepancy would be speedometer calibration, possibly from incorrectly using loaded tire radius rather than correctly using unloaded. But that will save you from speeding tickets, using loaded.
Anyway, the solution for taller gearing hurting acceleration is a turbo, plus turbos like tall gearing to pull against.
