Default What do I change in the computer after doing gears?

I have a mail order tune already from pcmforless, but I don't want to pay money just for a gear change. So if anyone can give me a quick walkthrough on what to change so my speedo will read right I would really appreciate it. I went from 2.73's to 4.10's and my speedo reads 110 when i'm doing 80 ish. Thanks in advance.

You have the stuff to tune? I mean, I assume you do since you're asking, but I just need to ask

It's the VSS Pulse that needs to be changed, and people will need to know your tire size as well.

You need a hypertech or a tuning program like tunercats or lt1edit. Tunercats has a calculator that does it for you.
