? Gear Change require Speedo Re-Calibration ?

Read a thread relating to gear change-out. Does a differential swap require a re-calibration of the speedo? If so, can this be done through LS1 edit? Thanks

Not sure on the A4...The answer is NO on the M6.

NO change required on either for the SPEEDO. However, on the A4, you will need some reprogramming for shift points, etc..

No; and this is unique to C5 Corvettes.

(nevernuf) Just curious but what about LS-1 edit for rear wheel diameter and I assume that would apply to both transmissions?

rear tire heigth changes will affect the speedo. LS1 Edit and others allow you to change these parameters.
