Gear ratio change
Merry Christmas to everyone!
I just got 3.55s for Christmas for my 14’ 3.7 and wanted to know if I needed a tune for my car to run correctly or can I just get my speedometer recalibrated? I already know that my speedometer will be off but other than that will the car run fine?

I went from stock 3.27 to 4.56 in my 2003 crown vic cop car and it worked fine with the stock tune.
Everyone said the shift points would be way off to the point of it being undriveable even if I'd only gone with 4.10,but it worked fine with the 4.56.The shifts were just a tiny bit early,but not bad at all
3.55 will barely even affect the speedo.I doubt you'll be able to tell any difference at all in performance though.
That said,since your car is much newer than mine,the computer may have a lot more control,so my experience may not apply
