speedometer recalibration

I've changed the tires on my F250 4WD 2000 SuperDuty from
LT285R75-16's to LT325R80-16's. The Speedometer was accurate before
and is about 15 percent off now. Ford said my tires are too big for
them to recalibrate my speedometer. (they are 36.5inches in diameter
and the limit is 35) I've heard about a device called Tru-Speed that
changes this but several people have told me that it is not very
accurate. (not to mention that it's almost $200!) I've got a western
diesel chip installed so changing to something like a hypertech would
be very expensive too.
So anyone have any suggestions as to how I can recalibrate my
speedometer?

thanks,

Robert
