No. The speedo is controlled by "cog gear" in the transmission. The edit can adjust shift points for the auto but not calibrate the speedo.

Holdens are different I assume. As for gears, I'm not sure, I still run stock factory 3.45 diff myself.

I've heard of aftermarket 3.9 speedo cog gears going on ebay. Don't know if it's true or not. Might want to keep a lookout.

Cheers Scott

imo actually 4.11's even without a stall convertor is quite an everyday drivable car and gets up and boogies too when needed .

I know that the speedo gear can be changed to fix a diff ratio change, but I thought there where also scalars in the EEC for things like tyre size and diff ratio..?

^^^^ The ECU has a listing of different rim sizes, tyre sizes etc , not sure about diff ratios tho, guessing it would as the gears would run at different speeds with a different diff ratios. I gotta go see how to get my speedo adjusted since i got 18"s so I'll find out if its got diff ratios in it too.

jaycar product will only alter signal within a narrow band i think 4% so check speed with a gps and get an idea how far out it is and check specs on Jaycar unit.

the adjustment on the jaycar product is a whopping 0% - 99% , plenty enough to calibrate even a speedo out by 100k or so probably..lol
