VSS pulses per rev needs to be 17 and you have to do the calculations on the revs per mile with your gear ratio and tire diameter.
In case you need help, 5280' are in a mile, diameter of tire x 3.15967 (pi) = circumference

Well i copied that table over but as soon as i hit save the tire size went to error. The calculated tire was right so i loaded it up and tried it anyway but the speedo isn't anywhere near right. Any idea why it would do this?

Ok, I did some math. I found your tire size in your sig to be 27" diameter exactly.

Change the General VSS Pulses per Mile to 52064.227

And the trans rev per mile to
3062.601

Let us know if that works.

anything different in those settings will cause it to be off. mine was within 1mph
