Hi Larry, When the airspeed reads high the probable cause is that the static source is vented to the inside of the airplane. Makes you feel good but you don't get there any faster. Check to see if there is an opening in the static line from the indicator to the probe out under the wing. A friend of mine has a Starduster which gains 200' just accelerating down the runway to take off. You may notice this characteristic also which tells you that the problem is not the instrument. If you open your canopy in flight you may go even faster becuse that reduces the cockpit pressure even more. Good luck, Bob Condon
