new gears = speedometer issues.

Gtwrestler · December 28th, 2006, 01:36 AM

So i got my 3.73s in finally and apparently my speedometer is reading around 7mph faster then it was before. Has anyone else noticed this change? Is there a cheaper way then buying a chip to fix this?

FastBack71 · December 28th, 2006, 01:42 AM

Yea you need to just buy the sct2 and retune it

Gtwrestler · December 28th, 2006, 01:55 AM

how does all that work? Im pretty new to modding cars.. expecially to be quick lol my last car was a wrangler. how much are we lookin at for an sct2? and can the retune be done at home or will i have to have some help with it? (keep in mind i am pretty much a complete noob)

Prety much clicking buttons and following directions, easy stuff.
I use another brand because I have a 4V motor and I do most my oun work.

an XCAL is FTW. i love mine but if you just want the speedo fixed look into a speedcal.

thaztrain35 · December 28th, 2006, 03:49 AM

xcal!!! gogogo

FastBack71 · December 28th, 2006, 08:48 AM

do you need a new tune in order to fix that?? or is it just clicking buttons?

Vabeachmustang · December 28th, 2006, 09:13 AM

As said before if you just want to fix the speedo look into a speedcal.

sonicblue · December 28th, 2006, 11:01 AM

go with the xcal it will wake your car up and take care of the speedo issue.

mach03 · December 28th, 2006, 12:03 PM

Actualy if you only want to correct the speedo, find the dealer that sells
Roush or Saleen in your area, and have them reflash your car to adjust for the new gears. Cost 1.0 hr labor and it's done.
The reason I suggest these dealers is that as a whole they tend to be more performance and mod friendly.

Gtwrestler · December 28th, 2006, 01:06 PM

Well lets take price into consideration here what will a speedcal or an xcal cost me? And if i were to go to a dealer should i wait to have them reflash before i get my headers and xpipe installed?

mach03 · December 28th, 2006, 01:07 PM

Headers and X pipe shouldn't require a reflash.
