Do the gears, you will notice it the most out of all of them.

You'll definitely feel the gears. You will have power at cruising speeds where you have none now I am sure. You will need that tuner soon though or your miles on your odometer will go up rapidly due to the calibration being off. I had my gears in last week and I had to order my tuner this week they were going up at such a rapid pace without really going anywhere.

yes i made a thread on corral.net about it along time ago when i was new to mustangs asking their opinions, i believe the best results was 3hp 7ftlbs, and they had added a tb plenum combo at the same time, hence y shorties arent worth anything... LTs or dont bother

9/10 sn-95 mustangs don't work that way. The only way to adjust the calibration is with a speedo gear. Supposedly the 98's are sposed to function like that, but I've never met someone with a car that did, including my neighbor

Not to jack the thread but how do you fix this problem if the tuner won't do it? I was under that impression because all of the tuners advertise that that is how you fix it. Thanks. He'll need to know this if he goes gears anyway.

speedo gear, it will correct it...

ThrashN · March 11th, 2008, 06:02 PM

Should be able to fix it with a new speedo gear

97GT4.6 · March 11th, 2008, 07:42 PM

I had no idea this changed the mileage. I never thought about it. I have 3:73's with no knowledge of when they were put in. So really i might have a lot less miles than i do.

Uncle Humjaba · March 12th, 2008, 12:20 AM

You need a speedo gear or I hear the best way to do this is with a Dallas Speedcal.

jlaw98gt · March 12th, 2008, 09:34 AM

im sure a tuner and speedo gear will do the same thing...when i get gears i will be buying xcal3 at the same time anyway
