Trans, Tire Size and Rear Gear is what determines what gear you will need.

Go to any Ford Dealership with your info and they should have it available.

the closest you can get your MPH to read correct with what you have now (8t gear in trans)is to use a white 23t gear on the cable side, even with that its gonna be off.
you can get it alot closer with either a 7t gear in the trans and a 21t gear on the VSS side or 6t gear in the trans and a 18t gear on the VSS side.

90 and up T5's use a 8 tooth gear in the tailshaft (drive gear) of the transmission
here is how you figure out what gear to use on the cable side (driven gear)
8 (drive gear) X 3.73 (gear ratio) X 849 (your tire rev per mile, 245x35r17) / 1000 (rpm) = 25.33 <<<< that is the tooth count for the driven gear you would need..... but the highest tooth count you can get for the cable side is a 23 tooth count, so its going to be off with your combination.
you could change the gear in the tail to get a better match. the very closest you can get is to use a 6 tooth on the trans side and a 19tooth on the cable side. 6 X 3.73 X 849 / 1000 = 19.00026 or 19
