Default Calibration Question/ Hypertech Programmer??

I have 4:10's in my car and haven't gotten the speedo calibrated yet...Just wondering do I have to buy a programmer for this or is there a cheaper way to do it?

Also, anyone that has a hypertech programmer have you seen any good gains or will it really do anything to my car (see sig)? Just wondering if it's a waste of $400 or not...

I wouldn't go so far as to say it slows your car down, but you can get custom tuning for much cheaper with better results.
