K, I got the 4.09 gears now, and 33" tires. Which way, up or down will it throught the speedo off.
Thanks
It depends on what your gear ratio was before and what stock size tires were.
I would guess that you went with higher (numerically) gears, and bigger tires.
This would put you somewhere back in the ball park of stock gearing, maybe a little lower, which would mean that your spedo says you are going faster than you really are.
To be sure it again depends on what you had before.
If I'm not thinking straight, someone please straighten me out. I just got off work and shut my brain off for an hour or two to rest.

I went from 3.54 to 4.09's, and 30's to 33's, about. been a long time since the stock size tires where on.

check out the "Find MPH" calculator and thatll tell you what your running and you can compare that to your speedo reading. (hope you have a tach :D )
Gear Calculators (http://www.geocities.com/monterosportrock/calcs.html#mpg1)
at 3000 RPM your going 72.04 MPH.
