I know there are boxes that you put in line with your speedometer that let you recalibrate it. I read threads about them here quite a while ago. Don't remember what they are called.

no what is in ur wheels is the wheel speed sensors which are for abs as well as for traction control............the vss which is the vehicle speed sensor is calibrated through a sensor usually on imports n domestics is on the back of the transmission not on the rear end.............just thought id put my $ 0.02 in............but how much did it cost for rear end gear swap n lsd conversion........thats my next mod in mind.........i have rb intake rb exhaust B&B midpipe upgraded plug wires, flywheel clutch rims rb raceflash n a hooked up system......i want somethin with a little more of a gain in the accleration which i can give up 10-20 mph top speed to break in 13's...... so can u give me an idea how much it ran u for parts, i got a guy at my work whos our shop mechanic that can do the install.......i just gotta get a price n location where to go

I'll snap his neck.
I ordered the gear from JonDemand for around 700, maybe a little less. Paul at Mazmart is having the new diff built for 300 plus a 500 core swap deposit. Not sure if these prices are still good or not since I ordered mine back in January. Hopefully will have it installed by mid May.

I think you can reuse most everything else if its all in good shape.
