That's because I'm about to get a new cluster, and I want to know if they found out how to get the 140 mph speedos before I blow my money on an escalade cluster.

200 MPH F-body cluster


As far as calibrating, here's one option .

We probably could if you could get enough people together. The calibration won't be an issue, just a little R&D. We've been doing these for f-bodies for years now.

how many people do you need

id be interested depending on the styling of the cluster, im thinkin something like either the denali-style (1st choice) or escalade-style (2nd choice)

also is the for the 140mph or 160mph

i think its safe to say that at least 40% of this board or better would be interested IF it had a 7krpm tach

I'm in too! My truck see's over 120mph alot and I have to resort to the navigation speedo to tell me what I'm doing. A 160mph cluster with 7K tach I'll fork over $500 for it.

Yes, 7K tach would be a must. Trans temp gauge, better color lights and needles, and a 140mph would be more than enough. Too high a number limits the sweep and makes it hard to read for daily driving etc....There's only a handful of guys dumb enough to go over 140 in a truck anyway.
