Swapping 120 mph Gauge Cluster for 155mph Hey Guys,
Sorry, I couldn't figure out which category to put this under.
I decided on getting a V6 since I'm only seventeen. I can save on insurance, gas and car payment. My goal is to try to make my V6 look like a Z28 on the outside and inside. The main thing for the inside to match is, I need a 155mph cluster instead of the shitty 120mph. My question is can I just take out my entire stock cluster and plug in a 155mph one. Is it that easy, or is it not even possible. Also how will I get the odometer to read right?
Another one of my questions is, what is the best way to make a V6's exhaust look like a Z28? Most V6's with dual exhaust, from the back look cheesy and you can tell it's a V6. All I want it to do is look identical to a Z28's exhaust even though I KNOW it won't sound like one, but that's ok.
Base Car
2002 Camaro
5-speed V6
Black on Black
Leather
T-Tops
50K Miles
Future Mod List
Z28 Gauges
SS hood
Eibach Pro-Kit
18's with used tires
Dual Exhaust

Z28 Limited Slip
Custom Tune
Lid
Tinted Windows
Thanks,
Nick

You can swap clusters. Your tach will be off unless you use something like a Dakota Digital tach adapter. I was going to do the same thing to my '98, and actually picked up the v8 cluster and the tach adapter. But then I ended up picking up a v8 engine and pcm to match, and selling the adapter...
