If I change my gears can I just take it to the dealer and have them calibrate the speedo?

Does having the 3.55 gear lower your gas mileage over the 3.31 gear ratio?

If I order an 08 GT, that might be a consideration.......

its better to get a tuner like the SCT or Diablo and do it that way, dealers will charge an arm n' leg.

3.55's will lower gas mileage, but not by a lot. Maybe 1mpg?
