Your speed is now off by 20%. It reads high.

for some reason speedcals only work on manuals...which pretty much sucks if you have an auto(forced to get a $400 tuner). but at least with the tuner it will help the tranny shift a bit better now, and pick up a cople hp.

depending on mods. if stock i would imagine 5-10rwhp at most...nothing huge, but a small little bump.

it will still be really close to 10rwhp, nothing mind blowing, but a small little increase that is a nice bonus when having to get your speedo corrected.
