87 camaro speedometer problem

hi guz, i have an 87 z28 5 speed and the speedometer reads low...reason for this is i swapped in a limited slip rear end...like a dope i didnt check what ration it was(turned out to be a 2.73), so yea its off lol, ive done a bunch of searching and cant find what gears i need, if the T5 was even paired with a 2.73...so my question is what gears do i need or should i just go to an electric speedometer?

A good transmission shop should be able to help you figure it out. Also, I think TCI has a gear ratio calculator that help you figure it out.
