It'll be off by quite a bit, actually... you'll need to recalibrate it.

If you have an M6 and go from 3.42 to 4.10, the speedo will be off by 20%. At 60mph, it will give you 72mph.

If you have an A4 and go from 3.23 to 4.10, its even worse. The speedo will be off by 27%. At 60mph, it will give you 76mph.

Got to get the ECU reprogrammed... You can buy something to do it, or go to a speed shop / friend with the right tools. See www.ls1speed.com they do it mailorder...
