They make your speedo say your going faster.

A tuner can fix it easily.

400 to reflash the ecm? That's insane. You can get a speed cal from dallas mustang for 100bucks or you can get a hand held tuner for about 400 and do it that way.

That's what they try to do. Sell you the expensive bullsh!t one.

The speedo recal Ford sells works but that's all it does. For another hundred bux you can get the tuner, push a couple of buttons and your done.
