While were on the topic, how off would the speedo be if I got 4.10's or 4.30's? I wanna get gears and I'm an auto. By getting the gears, I would probably get a Diablosport just for the retune, and then use it for the speedo anyways, but I was just curious. Also, with 4.10's or 4.30's, what would my top speed be lowered too? Thanks.

if you dont fix the speedo...youre odometer i gonna read a lot more miles than are really on your car. if you eve plan on selling your car its a worthy investment. even in you dont plan on selling it ever...just to have the security id get it. you never know what might happen and result in you needing to sell it.

well the reason why i say it is hes an auto and he can firm up the shifts and such with a tuner and do alot more.... a tuner is more helpful to an auto than a manual car.... ive got a superchips one for sale btw.
