Ok I bought my gt from a private owner and he included the x-cal 2. Now I drove it around and didnt really notice the speedo being off, he said it was correct sinec there is 4.10 gears. Now I put the 93 octane tune that was on the car on there and drove around for awile filling up 93. However it now costs an arm and a leg so I "return to stock". Now it seems like my damn speedo is off. Im doing 70 and stuff in like 50-55 traffic. My odometer is freaking soaring up. How can I fix this? I see NOWHERE on this list of options for the x-cal to do ANYTHING relating to the tranny or gears or shift points etc.

I plug it in and it lights up yada yada. First menu is read strategy, then program vehicle, then read error codes, lcd contrast menu, and dealer info. Program vehicle onle has 2 things. Custom tune and return to stock. In custom tune there is 87 and 93 thats it. All it does it load the pcm and thats it. WHAT AM I MISSING

None of these have anything to do with correcting the speedo. Ive looked through them all.

Please help me figure it out so I can stop putting so many god damn miles on my car. I cant believe this crap. Youd think it would be easier to navigate around in the menus.....

You cannot calibrate the gears off of the factory tune. Thats all it is - a Factory Tune, in order to alter something you would use or create a custom tune - from there you can make alterations.
