are there any speedo cogs for a 3.45 to 3.73 change?

otherwise ill install the speedo corrector jaycar unit


also, ive used that speedo calculator (in tech docos), but it says :
-X% results in higher speedo value when car is going 100kmh
-X% results in lower speedo value when car is going 100kmh

so its contradicting itself.
so which one is it?

When you go from 3.45 to 3.73 your speedo will be reading 8.12% higher.

This means after youve fitted the 3.73 diff, when the speedo shows 100kph, you are really doing 91kph.

When your speedo shows 109kph, you are really doing 100kph

So you must use a speedo corrector to reduce the speedo figure by 8 percent to read correctly
