HP Tuners: to throw off the speedometer i'm trying to show that my speedo is off. just for a few days. i have a GPS to verify the speed.
weird thing is that now, doing 50 mph in OD, the RPM was only ~1100. i remember it being higher.
A4 with 245-50-16 tires and 2.81 gears??? never heard of 2.81 gears but that's what it comes out to with the stock value being 9.11

with that gear and tires should be 1300 at 50 locked verter
chek out this site http://www.f-body.org/gears/

try putting a lower gear on the speedo section put 28 tire and 2.00 gear then commit. if that makes it go higher mph put a big gear like 4.50 then c what it does. but that should be enough to make it be off.

yea that works. HPT says to divide tire height by gear ratio. i got the speedo to read 15 mph less than actual speed. this may be too much and not believable so i'm going to lower it a little.

for how long? drive around for a year with a wrong speedo just to lie about a few miles (maybe 500 at most)?

#1. As stated this is fraud since it's tampering with the mileage
#2. Thread served it's purpose and is becoming a bitch fest now
#3. Unlikely that this will help the case of a speeding ticket as the judge is not going to want to see your car moving while being paced. Plus if the judge wanted to be an *** he may be able to have the car history changed to "mileage unverified" or something
Regardless... thread is done
