Default Guages

Real quick. Can a hand held tuner re-calibrate the speedo and tach to accomodate GT gauges? It'd be real cool if I can do 150MPH speedo instead of the 120.

Also, is it possible to change the color that the center console lights up? Like, the match blueish colored gauges?

idk about the spedo but you can changed the color of your interior lights, you just have to change out the led's for whatever color you want. simple in theory but its getting to them thats the bitch.

+1 on the digital guage. I had to switch to it because I put the steering wheel all the way down and I can't see the speedometer after like 50 I think

To anwser the original question of the thread, no it wont work. The tuner will only allow you to adjust the gear ratio.

Alright, cool. I guess I'll just go with V6 gauges. The 150 speedo thing was more of a cosmetic question than caring how fast I'm going. I never do normal driving over 120 anyway, lol, and the track clocks your speed when you race.

Xemeth....why do you think you drive an 11 second car? and running 120+ E.T.? ....you wont be doing wheelies, your burnout will suck and you'll be lucky to run a 14 (1/4).

im not trying to be an ***, just helping you down to earth.

edit: grammar
