Not commenting on the info as shown, but I was thinking recently about using this method (video of the speedometer) to compare aero mods and had this thought:

1) Switch the display to KM/H (for higher resolution), or,

2) If you have a ScanGauge, switch to KM/H and then change the speed correction factor to increase resolution even further. I'm not sure if it will let you *double* speed, but that would be cool & useful.
