Cyberdyne speedometer calibration box is this normal?

The way I have this thing hooked up is from the yellow wire off the trans, I have tried other ways but this is the only way I made it work. The problem I have is my speedo bounces below 60km/h(40mph). I all so used my friends GPS unit to set my speed and I found out that under 60km/h its 5km/h slow, between 80km/h and 130km/h its bang on, and at 140km/h and higher its 5km/h fast WTF?. So my question is, is this normal or what?

That doesn't sound unreasonable to me, analog speedometers aren't always 100% accurate.

Well, not a 100% but if everything's correct, they can be damn close.. There's only one way to do the math...

I'm focusing on your tire size maybe...
