Default Making speedo correct

After reading the responses to my recent GPS thread, I need some help. My FRC has 19" tire/wheel combo on the rear. As a result my speedo is 3+ mph slower than my GPS, and clearly this isn't correct.
I have no idea, is this a transmission gear or a computer issue?
Thanks guys.

Ron,

This is a simple adjustment you can make yourself with a Diablesport Predator or other hand held tuner.

I have a Diablesport Predator and am very happy with it. I adjusted my speedo, shut off the 1to4 skip shift, and put in the generic performance tune
