In most places in the US you are not allowed to exceed the speed limit by any amount at all when passing. It's called the speed LIMIT, not the speed SUGGESTION. If you can't pass without exceeding the speed limit, then don't pass.
Some states used to allow this, at least under certain conditions, but several of them have since changed their laws to forbid it. If you want a definitive answer, contact your state government; the highway patrol should be able to tell you for sure.
