Default Procal useage question

Hi all, i bought the procal to adjust the speedometer, got it in on Tuesday and adjusted the tire sizes for the speedometer. The speedometer is dead on now (according to my garmin) but i feel the jeep doesn't handle turns as well as it did. And I'm technically going slower than before. Was there something else i was sop posed to adjust or is there something else going on the coincidentally started happening after i adjusted the speedometer. I tried searching for a thread about this before posting but couldn't find anything so if this subject was brought up before, i apologize in advanced for the dup post.

Do you have an Auto?

Maybe you just aren't used to the reprogrammed transmission but no the Procal will do nothing for handling

The gremlin is most likely in your mind. LOL!! Nothing that happens recalibrating for your tires should change handling.

Lol, you aren't going slower than before, the speedo is just giving an accurate reading now.

Describe the problem handling turns? Is this a difference from before/after a lift and tires were installed? I don't see how a procal would affect it.

You have to enter the MEASURED & LOADED tire diameter, not the advertized size. On a level surface, measure from the ground to the top of the driver side front tire tread. LAy a strightedge across the tread for an accurate reading. Plug that into the Procal. Also, if you regeared, enter the new gear ratio.
