This is the only true way to fix it..I think. Your odometer will still be offset.

Also..I'm pretty sure you can substitue a GPS instead of a pricey Dyno run.

Or you can have someone else drive another vehicle and pace them, or you can use your watch and time some mileposts (hint: 60 seconds per mile is 60 miles per hour...)

The CORRECT way to get your speedo back where it belongs is to change your gears.

If you need my help, let me know. Mine is really close with the 265/75's on there. I compared my speedo with my GPS and it was dead on all the way to 75 mph.
