speedo will be off so you need a tune to correct it but there is no affect on shiftpoints if you have a manual. just shift at whatever RPM you normally do. you coulddrive the car for the rest of your life without a retune if you wanted to. jsut gotta rememebr your speedo is off.

If you don't recalibrate after you swap gears you will put alot of miles on your car very quickly.

All I would need is the tuner to recalibrate right.

I believe you can do it with the SCT Xcal II. I had to send mine back to Doug since I have the Xcal 1 version.
