I suspect my car might have aftermarket gears simply because of the fact my speedo is off by 10mph. My car does have bigger tires than stock, but according to a calculator it would only throw it off by 2mph. I also get terrible gas mileage, (about half a tank used on a 30 mile drive) so thats another reason I suspect gears. I remember someone once posted up a certain formula to figure it out by knowing the tire size and what the rpms were in top gear. But I cant find it anymore so I made a video. My rear tire size is 275/40/17 and 245/45/17 in the front and in the video im doing 60mph while the speedo says 70. Im also an auto 96 gt. http://youtu.be/gmGLyANhBak
Ps I needed a trans rebuild, and new rear. The trans guy gave me a new posi rear. I asked him to figure out if I have gears and he didn't do it. Ive also changed fuel filter, new o2 sensors, sea foamed, new maf, and cleaned tb and I still get pretty bad gas mileage. And it had a tune up except oil it needs an oil change. Anything else I can possibly change to hopefully get a little better mpg? I just sit there and watch the gas gauge drop like it had a hole in the tank. The only mods it has is bbk intake and a flopro exhaust from the previous person
