Speedo Calibration / Shift Points
Hello Everyone,
I’m 47 years old, gearhead old school guy from Istanbul-Turkey and this is the first time that i m into PCM tuning world and would like to start with thanks to Gary Doug, Mark Mansur, Eaglemark, Steveo, kur4o, Brenden @Shoebox and all others i can not remember their names right now for their great effort and sharing about PCM tuning of LT1 cars.
I just swapped LT1 + 4L60E from 95 Roadmaster LTD Sedan to 79 Malibu Classic Coupe. Even i have swap all wiring, steering column, fuel tank etc. Shortly i might say i have 95 RM in a 79 Malibu shell. I took pictures of all steps and i can share if you need any info.
I have decided to cancel some futures such as Catalytic Converter, EGR, Air Pump and i have decided to keep CCP (EVAP)due to BLM cells issue. Canceled mechanic fan and now become to dual electric. All rest stays stock because it’s gonna be daily drive. I made my self ALDL cable and jump into PCM world as a noob.
I used EEhack to get the stock bin. 16209331 bin in 16188051 pcm and i’m gonna upload 16243171 which is newer and better. I have made all the necessary changes about canceled features, speed limiter, fan control etc.
I’m using Tuner Pro to change the parameters in stock 16243171 bin file. Here is my question :
My donor car RM had mechanical fan and external oil cooler which makes it V92 towing pack car as far as i know it should have 2.93 rear end with posi. And the tire size 235/70/15.
Now i have 3.73 in my malibu and tire size also gonna be different 205/75/14 for winter, 275/50/15 or 275/60/15 for summer i know i have to change the “Instrumentation Calibration” values in STOCK bin for exact speed reading on speedo and other calculations.
As suggested i have decide to use “LT1 OBD1 Speedo Calibration for $EE” excel file. For being sure that excel file works correctly first i put 2.93 , 235/70/15 values into excel file but results doesn’t match with my STOCK values.

I thought values in excel file might provide better readings for the calculations but i m not sure. Can anybody suggest me what should i do or calculate the values for me that i have to put in to bin file with 3.73 rearend and for 205/75/14 , 275/50/15 , 275/60/15 tire sizes ?

And one more question, after i put new values in to bin file for speedo calibration, should i have to change also Tables of Shift points, TCC, Kickdown mode, Line pressure control ?
Probably i have to change but is it safe for transmission to drive the car without change transmission related tables for a while because i want to take a log? Or it's deadly dangerous for transmission ?
Is there any article you suggest to me understand the logic for these tables?
Thank You !!!
