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/

forgot to say that i'm trying to throw off my speedo to show lower than the actual miles.

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.

yea asswipe, i'm going to throw off my odometer to cheat on a couple of miles?

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

it's for a ticket.

skunk50

for a ticket. thanks for your help.

yea you discovered my greatest scheme ever....wow, a '98 Trans Am....a redneck Ferrari....so damn rare and sought after by celebrities and **** all over the place that i'm going to plan this out and throw off my speedo for the next 5 years in order to drop 500 miles a year or so .....so that i can sell it to some rich sucker for a million dollars.

gee, and wouldn't a big time hustler such as i be able to figure out how to make another screen name (to sell it) just in case some smart and savvy LS1-Techer such as yourself should somehow discover my super duper plan?

It's still fraud, lying & cheating. Oh yeah, and illegal too. Nice to see your a stand-up moral guy.

skunk50

yeah ok. next time your dumbass goes over the speed limit....be sure to turn yourself in at the next police station right?

#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
