If you take the car to a shop for the gears they should have a handheld tuner they use at the shop. They should be able to correct the speedometer for you.

Why would you get gears when you are selling your car? Haven't you been selling that car for a few years now? A tune + intake is your friend. It should come before any gears.

You are one strange kid.

so speedometers don't use the front wheels any more?

I just drive 'em, I don't know what makes 'em go.

Yes but you would need to BUY the tuner from them, you cant have them reflash your CPU and not purchase the tuner.
