'92 2.73 to 3.42 gear swap. Speedo question

I currently have an open 2.73 rear and will be installing an Auburn pro posi with 3.42 gears. I want the speedo to be dead accurate. What is the best method, speedo gears or speedo calibrator? The 3.42 was a factory option in '92, so wouldn't the exact speedo gears be available? Please help!!

Whats your tire size?

Do a search on this board and you'll probably find your answer. Its more than likely a 15 tooth and a 43 tooth.
