gear ratio issue

Post by jfhawk94 »

I bought the programmer mainly to fix my speedo due to gear and tire changes. I have not changed the tires yet but went from 323 to 410. I go to factory tune and modify the gear ratio then install modified tune. Once it is installed when I put the car in drive and take my foot off the brake the idle surges and the speedo pegs itself at 155 then the car stalls. If I make the change in factory tune then save it, then escape without modifying the tune, then go to the install tune option I pick install factory tune, it installs and drives fine but the speedo is still off. With the stock tune modified and installed I check the car tune in the option section it says the diablo tune is installed. My car is a 99 trans am using model u7198 software rev 2.13 hardware rev 1.01. car mods are 04 ls6 motor custom cam ported heads, auto trans, strange 12 bolt 4.10 gears. car has a custom dyno tune, but like I said I only got this to change gear and tire settings not fuel timing or anything tuning related
