Speed Calibrator

03-21-2006, 08:35 AM

K... well i'm thinkin I'm gonna get a set of 3.73s for ma car...

I will probably get the speed calibrator too...

1. Do I NEED this thing or can I adjust it w/ out it?
2. If I get it... Could I tell That I have 4.10s or higher so that I put less miles on my car

Save up and get a tuner to fix your speedo while adding a few extra ponies!

Order the chip. Calibrate it for what it needs to be or your speedometer will be off

yeh... i dont give a chit about my spedometer... i thought it would be cool to trick the car into thinkin there were 4.10s in it so that I wont rack up so many miles.... is that plausible?

Oh thanks for the info I didn't know that.....wow you have a prehistoric mustang! ha ha ha....Just kidding man. I also wanted to add that I wouldn't mess with "tricking" the car so it doesn't rack up the miles. I'm pretty sure that's against federal law....ESPECIALLY if you sell it and tell the dealership or next owner the false mileage. I know your probably not going to sell it, but just letting you know.

i'd rather have a acurate speedometer and to be honest it wouldnt make much a difference probably wouldnt even notice it.

I could be wrong, but I thought '94 had a speedo gear or could be re- programmed. I think it's your choice (gear being the cheaper way)

greg, I believe that the speedo's in your car are mechanical, rather than the 99-04 which are electric. I'm 95% on this and if it's true, you wont need to calibrate, it'll do it automatically

03-21-2006, 11:38 AM

YES!

Recalibrating it to rack up less miles is illegal... but I really dont care... lots of things are illegal, so are taking off yer cats lol...

i could change it back when i sell it no1 would really know or be able to prove it... Its not like I would be rolling back miles...

But I beleive that it may me a mechanical speedo meter... any one know where it is?

tranny someplace?

it wont do it its self... i think

my pops put on bigger tires on his 87 f150 (same engine *detuned* and differnet tranny and same rear) and it knocked off his speedo meter as well as odometer... lol...

dannyb785 · 03-21-2006, 12:17 PM

there's a difference between an 87 f150 and a 95 mustang gt. I dont know or care what the f150 uses as a speedo, but I've read the 95 has mechanical speedos

wow... read again... the f150 has all the same stuff

thats a mechanical seepo meter too

I think you just need to get the appropriate colored speedo gear 9that's how they sell them) that corresponds to the rear ratio that you want.. You can't really fine tune for tire sizes.
