You shouldn't have to reprogram anything. My v6 came with a 120 mph speedo, but now has a 150 mph speedo. Speedo works just fine, and it's accurate.

Isn't that why you're here? To get the know how?!? Man I wish I had small problems like those then I'd be cool.

Hey I recently got a 93 Z28 with 150 white gauges in it. It doesn't work right but i haven't had time to take anything apart yet. Im wondering if i have the same problem that you have. Exactly how is your speedo off?

well the speedo marked 120 when i was going 75. the speed marked just never matched the actual speed of the car. if i were u i would take off the white face and make sure it matches the speedo...
