Question speedo change ?'s

ok, thanks to BigKID i got my gears in and now am wondering if anyone ever figured out how to get predator to correct the speedo being off? the gear change feature is useless. I went from 42's to 73's. tire size is stock. i figure i change my tire size on pred but do i make the tire bigger or smaller? i would say it is about 5 or so mph off. i am going slower than what it says...

the gears are great. i am sure they don't provide the grunt bust in the butt that 4.10's would, but are definantly better than the 42's. on the pinion the first thread had to be ground down a tad but no biggy. oh, during the install, one of the bolts that holds the ring to the carrier messed up, so everything had to be put on hold till today, in which BigKID had to drive over to Slidell for me to get a new one. Thanks to him everything got put back together and in running order. i had to go to work and couldn't assist any further.

truck actuallys lays some nice rubber on the pavement instead of scratching it. it won't be long and i'll be touching your 14.7. lol

i'll have to check one of the calc's out to see what i can find.

Congrates on gear change.the hypertech tuner makes the adjustment.
The truck tuning shouldn't matter,but your speedo is 10% fast,can you adjust tire size to 27" on preditor?
