speedo gear help? (first post!)

I have a 92 Trans Am convertable, just replaced the fact. 2.73 with a 3.73.
Its a 305 auto. What speedo gear do i need? Also im running into trouble with the engine missing at around 70mph? or so. Its more like its cutting out, no matter what the rpm is.
I took it to the track today, and about 3700 rpm's, and about 5/16 of a mile down the track it started cutting out. It was more like a electrical cutout vs. a fuel cutout. Does my prom need reprogrammed for the new gears? Or is my spark condenser going bad?
Thanks for any help on both situations, and im glad i found this forum!

I haven't dealt with your problems before, but the first thing I would recommend is a search on speedo gears. This is a common thing people deal with, so I'm quite sure the solution has been given many times. You'll probably have to get a gear that has the same number of teeth as your current one, but multiplied by 2.73/3.73.
