speedo recalibrate

I know, I know.. there is already a post on this.. I have read and re read for the last 2 hours trying to find where I first saw it... I was thinking my chip may correct it...
the post/info I am looking for is the directions for the recalibration to be done without taking it into the dealer hopefully...
thanks in advance Guy

Yes your chip *should* correct your speedo for tire swaps. You may have to send it to Diablo or Ken (online store) to get it set up for the tires you have.

speedo recalibrate

Guy,
I have the same "special" ECU that prevents speedo recalibration. Let me know if you are ever able to overcome it...

speedo recalibrate

The problem is some of them us a magnetic pickup for the speedo and the speedo is controlled external to the chip. Both Superchips and Diablo have confirmed that there's no way we can get around this. The Truspeed or a dealer can do it.

speedo recalibrate

I spoke with my local dealer about recalibrating the Speedo when I move to 315's from the stock 265's. The best they can do is get within 5 MPH or leaving a 10% error. Will the TruSpeed add-on have any negative impacts to ABS, or other speed related devices based on the stock Speedo? Is there another way to go to recalibrate the Speedo?
