Kill two birds with one stone, get yourself a programmer. You can account for tire size and get better performance. Use the search feature, there is plenty of information here already that will help out.

He has a 1997. The 97-98 speedometers still ran off a gear in the transmission. You need a different size plastic gear. Sorry, I have no idea what size.
