so i got a 375$ out the door quote on some 3.73s for my car.

buttttttttttttttttttttttttt

the guy told me i could tune the speedo with a u174 or whatever the hell the diabo is for our cars. if my car was a late 1998 model. not a early 1998 model. he is full of shit correct?

i should have to use a dallas mustang speedcal... or possibally a xcal?? i thought the gauges in our cars were gear driven, not digital. or cable driven i mean...

you would be correct sir.

Im saving for the speed cal myself but, you can always get the gear which is like 10 bucks as well.

my research shows that the aftermarket gear shatters.. how does the speedcal work exacally. just modifys the vss signal?

You got it dude.

Diablosport has been working on support )or claiming too) for our car's for awhile now, but I think the computer just plain won't do it.

I know our car's have a mechanically driven VSS, like an adapter box, the newer car's use a different one, so i would imagine the part of the ECU that handles it is different too.

ha...im just gonna replace the gear when it brakes...it takes all of 5 minutes anyways.

that speed cal install looked complicated as hell...I decided to not even mess with it.

Complicated to clip a wire onto the cig lighter and plug it into the VSS? :hammer: How are you gonna install a blower man, lol
