I dont think it will matter. The mph will be off but it shouldn't be a big deal

your speedo and odometer will read 5-10% low. Meaning, when driving 60 your speedo will say 53-54...if it is a drastic gear change it will cause havoc w/ the bcm and you will get ABS and brake codes....other than that, the it won't matter....You should see a little better mileage, and a little slower off the line...or did you switch to smaller tires at the same time?

No change...doesn't matter what the wheel speed is ... just r's and that won't change w/ changing the gears in the tune.

Talking

it all depends on how it was set up. the r's are going to read different and will in effect cause the shift points to be off. the pcm uses speed as well as rpm to shift the trans.
