I am working on my speedo calibration at the moment, but would like to check my calculations. I am using an Koso RX2n with an optical sensor, but will refer to the trigger signal as magnets. I have installed a single bolt on the side of the input prop shaft flange plate.

Tyres are 195/50/R15 with a circumference of 1810 mm
LSD Diff is a: 3.62:1 from a Sierra Xr4x4 2.8 V6

So,

1810 mm divide by 3.62 diff turns per 1 full rotation of wheels =500 mm / 1 magnets - Summary Input 2000 mm circumference with 4 Nr Magnets

Am I on the right track with this?
