Question cheapest way to correct speedo?

I just bought a '98 Z and want to take the 2.73's out and, well, put them in the garbage and replace them with 3.73's......What is the cheapest way to correct the speedo? I bought an aftermarket warranty and need it to be correct so I dont use up the miles. Thanks.

a used hypertech programmer would be the cheapest, if you have someone in your area that does LS1edit maybe you can talk them into doing a speedo change for cheap. If you plan on doing more mods and keeping the car just buy LS1edit or HPtuner now and get it over with.

Find one of our sponsors in the area that does LS1 tuning. Many of them will tune for different gear ratios and such for around 50 bucks.

Thanks for the help.....At this point I will probably just pay the $50 or so to make it right.
