Question 3.73 question

I just had 3.73s installed and I had 3.23s, I havn't gotten my spedometer re-calibrated yet. Any ideas as to how far off it is?

Freebie. My father has a 10sec formula and he upgraded rear ends so I got his old strange 12bolt and it has 3.73s in it. So I have no idea what brand the gears are or how much the cost but I can say by switching gears it made it a totally different car. As far as drivability goes its a hell of alot easier to spin the tires and Im sure its not helping my gas mileage.
