Default Speedo Cal VS Tuner & How Much $$$?

Hey guys. Truck has been lifted but need to calibrate my speedometer. Shop that did the lift offers a speedo calibrator for 200 and a tuner for ~375. I just feel like this a bit steep but then again I don't know much about these. Any input either way is much appreciated.

Or you can buy a used tuner, Like the SCT x4 I have for sale for $275 in the classifieds.

Spart thank you for the info... I'm a little hesitant to modify as built data but I'm gonna try this with IDS sometime soon

I just fixed my buddy's 2016 F150 speedo last night. Also been doing lots of stuff to my Mustang. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Just make sure to jot down notes on what you changed and what the original values were.

IDS modifies the same exact data. It's just more limited than FORScan.

Absolute worst case, you can use your VIN to download your original as-built from Ford and reprogram it to factory even if you bungle it horribly. I haven't heard of anybody bricking their vehicle yet.

Check out the Livinitup's thread that I linked to (in the above link.)
