Default How does a person with 4.56's and an AOD end up with a calibrated speedo?

I'm trying to set up for my 4.56 install to give my AOD that real pep it needs. Apparently, the calculators tell me I need a 28 tooth or something like that! I'm running 225/60/16's and currently I have a 21 tooth driven gear with my 3.73's (I think that means I have the 8 tooth inside). Now, I've seen 23 toothers out there but thats about it.

What can I possibly do? I know they have electronic correction devices but it seems like overkill. I also know that the drive gear is part of the output shaft. Does ford make recalibrated speedo innards? I want to keep the stock speedo gauge.
