New Gears
Another question which has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to locate a thread.
Will the predator programming address the issue of gear scaling?
I plan to install a 3:42 rear with a SY3500 converter on my 2000 C5.
The original gears are 2:73, and I have heard conflicting reports from a few vendors in my area. Some say just use the Hypertech to change the ratio.
Some say only the predator which change the ratio and compensate for scaling, and others say only LS1 edit will properly compensate. I'm confused.
Any suggestions would help.
Thanks. :banghead:

Re: New Gears (jawski)
The Hypertech fails on gear scaling with the C5; but may work in other areas.
The manufacturer themselves will admit to gear changing failure and their advice is to "buy someone elses product". Call them yourself.

you are correct - there's no speedo calibration issues on a C5. But the post originator has an A4; there's shifting problems and the P1870 code to contend with.
6 speed owners don't have to contend with any quirks - you lucky dogs - :)

Re: New Gears (hightest)
Yes, but I gutted my pre-cats. The 3.42 is a great all around gear for everyday driving.
But if I frequented the track ... I'd of gone with the 3.73's
