I don't have a speedo either, but lately(since I cleaned my MAF off) I've noticed that my engine sounds as if there was a turbine spooling up in gears 1,2,3. 4th slows me down, and only pulls good on hills or above 80mph, and in 5th my limiter kicks in hard at 110mph. I thought I'd broke something the first and only time I got there(I-5 nothbound LA, about two months ago). Once I relized what had happened I was upset because I wanted to see what my car was working with.
My car is wierd but I love her. I don't think I go over 6700rpm unless I downshift to third over 70mph(did it a few time to avoid accidents, when braking wasn't an option).

Why don't you have a speedo? You mean tach, methinks?
And wtf wasn't braking an option? Because you didn't want a cop to see brakelights?

I have a speedo, I don't have a tach but I can judge my rpm by ear. This is my third car with a mtx in 8yrs, so I can guestimate pretty close.
