Don't have the chart for part numbers for ratios, but this link may put you in the right direction. You will have to check the color gear presently installed, and use one that is about one tooth less. (Each tooth difference = around 3 mph)

Here is another option for you. Look down the web page. He has some external speedo adjusters for GM.
