Default V6 w/ GT Gauge face?

Hey guys thinking about getting a GT gauge face (140mph) for my V6, do you think the 120 and 140 mph difference will be a problem accuracy wise?

What about the difference with the RPM redline?

If there was a problem I'm sure a tune could fix it... right?

Why not just change out the cluster with an used GT one? You will be off considerably at higher speeds by just changing the face. I think I would find a good MYColor (message center 6 gauge) cluster. That's what I did, and love the setup.

Its the same gauge wise, just the GT reads to 8...

Mainly because I paid in the $300 range to get mine replaced when some of my stock stepper motors died.

Both MPH and RPM guages wouldn't be accurrate if you just swap the overlay. You need to swap the entire cluster.

I am sure a tune can be written for it.
