Speed odometer off

When I purchased my 89tq tune from Doug, I had 3.55 gears and my tires were 255/50/17. Since then I changed my tires and gears. My tires are now 245/45/17 and I now have 4.10s. I modified my custom tune. I adjusted my tire revs to 785 per. min and gears to 4.09 (diablo doesn't have 4.10). When I compare my speed odometer to my GPS my speed odometer reads about 5mph than the GPS. When I modify my tune to 4.30 gears my speed odometer is off by only 2 mph. Does Doug need to re-send a new tune to reflect my new gears and tires?

I dunno. When I set mine with the Predator yesterday to 4.09 after having the 4.10's installed, it was bang on, as checked by the dyno computer.

Might wanna drop Doug an email and ask him what gives.

What was your original tire size so I can check that for you?

EDIT: just saw that in your OP. hang on two secs.

I thought by modifying the tune for 785 revs per. min 20168/25.7, it would correct the speed odometer problem. I guess not.

I think I found the problem. I had the tire revs set for 785 per. min when it should have been 810 per. min.

set the revs to 810, but my speed odometer still reads about 2 MPH faster than the GPS. At this point I am not going to worry about it. Aren't most speed odometers off by 2-3 MPH anyway?
