I did same thing, though at 35mph (though probably should be done higher, 50-65 would probably be best but much more unsafe). It is set nearly perfect, I just didn't push the needle on good enough though, so when my bass hits, the needle moves a bit, not a big deal.
To set the tachometer needle, I just turned car on at placed at what should be the correct idle for a zetec. It seemed to work well. With my chip in, it shows redline correctly at 6750, so I think I got it pretty close to dead-on.
I left my mileage alone. I like having only 71k miles showing on my 100k+ mile contour.
