You can buy a calibrator which you can set for any gear/tire setup. It is a small box with switches inside. THe gears tend to fail. Mine is from SHM but a few other companies offer them. Check out MMFF I think youy can pick em up for aobut 90 bucks.

Yeah, I just checked in my 5.0 mag and Dallas Mustang has a "Speed Cal" for 96-02 Mustangs for $89.95....
So, do the 96-98 Cobra's have a speedo cable?...
