Do you mean swapping out the 85 mph speedo for a 140 mph?

I think most of the speedo conversions are from 85 mph to 140 mph. Most people dislike the 85 mph that the government forced the automakers to install.

With the C3 Corvette it's rather easy to exceed 85 so its nice to know how fast you are going.
