I need help
Im trying to find the correct speedo gear for my camaro the guy I bought it from put a th350 in it its got 4:10 posi swapped out of? i pulled the cover and checked the ring to be sure it is a 4:10 235/70r16 tires on the back if I remember right. I will double check tonight when i get home its about 20mph off. I know I need more teeth im running purple drive and brown driven right now. every calculator i punch it in wont give me a tooth count to get it any closer any help? I dont know weather to max out tooth count and go to the 44 tooth on the drive and then just swap driven gears till i get it as close as i can or what. Thanks guys move if its in the wrong spot really couldnt find a good spot that it fits in.

The Trans & Drivetrain subforum would be a good place to start.
Generally speaking, there are usually charts and guides that show the best drive/driven gears that can be found online (Google). Search for the transmission type and speedometer gear and they should come up.
