Default another speedometer issue

So I was on the AM site and am looking at getting the Predator tuner, 3.73 gears, t-lok, struts, and springs. My problem is that according to the website, my cars speedo cannot be callibrated by the tuner as it is a 98 v-6 auto. The tuner itself makes no mention of this. Do I need the speed cal/speedo gear or not?

You don't need a tuner. You need to replace the gear in the speed sensor found here for much cheaper.

I already planned on getting gears instead of a speed cal if I needed to. I am, however, talking my wife into getting me the tuner because of the gear swap. I just really want it, so shhhh! I do appreciate the link Spike. I was gonna start looking myself, but this makes it immensely easier. I was gonna start with the good fellas over at odogears as they should know or have what I need.
