Default gear swap...how bad is my speedometer off?

i just put a 3.73 gear in my Z28, it had the 2.73 gear, i'm very happy with it, feels like a whole different car...anyways i know my speedometer is off but by how much, i'm prolly getting a tune to take care of it in the next couple of weeks but until then i'd like to have an idea on how bad its off.

I think when I was really at 70, my speedo showed 90 or 95. I put an extra 200 miles on my odometer before I had it recalibrated due to the change. Glad you like the gears, I did the same swap also and its still fun. Picked up half a second in the quarter.
