gears and programmer
is it possible to correct the speedo for a 96 gt with just a programmer like sct or diablo and also tune the car and squeeze a few extra horses out of it or would an actualy speedo recalibration be needed?

programmers will fix the speedometer calibration with the addition of gears.

SCT Xcalibrator will work on the following vehicles, INCLUDING YOUR 1996. SCT’s new XCalibrator supports the following applications: 1996 - 2005 Mustang 2005 Ford GT Supercar 1996 - 2005 F150 1996 - 2005 F250 - F550 7.3L / 6.0L Diesel 1996 - 2005 Explorer Thunderbird SVT Focus Lincoln LS |
I have a 1997, it supposedly fixes my speedo for the 3.90 gears I havnt put it on yet. . Buying a speedo calibrator and mil eliminator's your halfway to the price of the SCT chip tuner, so you might as well get it.

The speedo is mechanical in 96-98 and can not be corrected with out a speedcal. Your shift points in an automatic will be all screwed up too. The autos shift off of the speedo at WOT, not rpm. Trust me....I have an Xcalibrator, the SCT Pro Racer Package and a SCT Raptor Datalogger. You can reprogram the PCM for steeper gears but your speedo will still be wrong. Adam |

Adam Strange i asked the tuner if it would fix the speedo and he said yes. Guess i wont know till i put it on. |
yes you replace the VSS gear in the tranny with the "plastic" gears. I am almsot positive the older fox ones are the exact same thing. but i cant remember off the top of my head right now. just go out and toss the one in and see if it fixes it.
Actully now that i think about it, they are the same.. lol sorry. |

I've got every number of ford speedo plastic gear from gear changes on my old 5.0's. Are the gears changeable in 96-98's then??

Im running a 5 speed, 1997 What has me confused is the dallas mustang speed calibrator is not Mechanical. It uses dipswitches and plugs in the harness. I guess i'll know if it works when i finally put it in and get down the road. Switch between stock, and one of the tunes and see if the speedo changes.
I do hope your wrong. but we'll see. I should've put it in tonight, but i concentrated on the stereo. I bought a nice custom fit sub. Im not trying to win any awards, Just a nice sound. im 37 Rock and metal is me. i bought 4 infinity 6x8 Component speakers. this one 10" sub, and a kicker 6 channel kx700.5 amp. Its amazing how this custom sub molds in the back right and bolts through the factory Plug in the trunk. you cant even tell it's there when i installed it. The speaker is pointing toward the body panel for protection. I bridged it for 400 watts going to the sub and 75 watts to the other 4 components. Im not winning any Bass wars. but since my dash has 2 din slots i put a Cheap receive that plays MP3's DVD's, Video CD's, fm and the rest, and got a Cheap 7" LCD screen to come out the dash for cheap. I ebay'd to death and stole everything for what most people pay for just a head unit!!! I got my nitrous system new off ebay $300, Lower and upper control arms new $140 shipped, Underdrive pulies $40 shipped. subframe connectors $40, Nitrous Pump for refilling off a mother bottle $125 shipped. Mother bottle @ my local gas store was $105 for a 65Lb bottle. 110lb was $175 a little cheaper for the bigger. Anyone live near me in delaware, I'll beat your speedshop price for refills. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT |
