Default 160 MPH speed

Ok, I have been thinking of a way to get a 160mph speedo in our trucks here is what I thought
Get a canadian cluster (with kM instead of Miles), then have it reprogramed with your miles (IE if you have 77k Miles have 77kM put on the cluster), then set your rear-gears with the tuner of your choice, so that the speedo outputs your MPH as kMPH, now you have a speedo that shows kM but is actually giving you MPH and thus you get a 160mph speedo...any opinions on this?

Escalade cluster only goes to 120. I honestly fail to see the need to have a 160mph speedo there is a company that was supposedly working on one that someone posted about do a search for it maybe they ahve finished it.

An Aeroforce Interceptor Scanguage shows your true mph. As well as 20 other parameters. Best $200 I ever spent on my truck.

quick question, i've seen those interceptor gauges before, but just thought about something (and excuse my ignorance) it says the guage displays any two of the below listed parameters at a time... is that it only shows two of them. Or it shows all of them, but only two at a time?

thanks,
justin

The Police Package Tahoe clusters go to 140mph, but I'm led to understand that you CAN'T order them separately from the truck....let's get zippy on this one to see if it can be ordered

if i understood correctly, you can order the cluster, but they don't list a part # for it in the comp. so you have to have a cluster to reference a part # form. And the PPT clusters won't work in the older 99-02 body trucks. Unless the older tahoes had that same cluster..

The aeroforce can show any 2 of 20 different things just 2 at a time. You can select any of the 20 to be displayed but 2 at a time.
