I am looking for info on what is the right speedo gear. Just went from a 3.73 gear to a 3.08 gear, the trans is a TH400. The teeth on the gear I have now is 44T and that was correct for the 3.73. I need to speed up the speedometer by a bout 15%. Can some one help?

I was trying to remember who it was that had the website explaining how to pick a speedo gear. I almost told you to search for it yourself but, behold:

He posted in Chevelle Tech and I grabbed the link from his sig. Convenient guy, that Fred.
