Before you worry about changing things I think you should get an accurate base line. Either your speedometer, your tach or both are incorrect.

Beg, borrow or steal a GPS unit. Set it to display MPH and take it out on a highway without a lot of traffic. Run the car at 60 MPH as displayed on the GPS and record what the speedometer says. Do the same at 70 as indicated on the GPS and a few other points, say 40 and 50.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
