Agreed with the caviot that once you own it, you really can't resell it if you decide you want a power programmer later like the Flashpaq or Hypertech as it binds to the vehicles VIN. Or so I've been told.
Once used for recalibration, AEV's ProCal Module stores a vehicle's VIN in its memory. While a VIN is stored in memory, a ProCal Module cannot be used on a second vehicle. To use the ProCal Module on a second vehicle, the first vehicle must be recalibrated to stock. This will clear the first VIN and ready the ProCal Module for use on the second vehicle.

Well, I ordered the procal and a few other things from Dave at Northridge. I honestly don't know if I will see much difference with the 33's since I had the 32's stock but I will be going to 35's within the next year or so and hopefully gears sometime after that if I feel I need them.

I use my ProCal all the time! I sold my Pro Comp calibrator! (It's a JOKE compared to the Pro-Cal!)
ProCal Module Functions:
* Large tire recalibration (Restores the vehicle's speedometer/odometer accuracy following the installation of larger-than-stock tires)
* Axle gear ratio recalibration (Resets automatic transmission shift points to maximize the benefits of an axle gear ratio change)
* Tire Pressure Monitoring System recalibration (you can set it to alert you of any pressure YOU desire, or completely disable it!)
* Daytime running lamp activation/deactivation, and lamp location selection (you decide what daytime lights YOU want like the the markers or the headlights)
* One-touch turn signal activation/deactivation
* Engine idle speed options (Improves winch performance and Onboard AIR and battery charging capabilities by temporarily increasing engine idle RPM)
* Steering wheel centering (Provides for spot-on steering alignment)
* Clears Engine Diagnostic Codes (The gauge cluster will display codes by doing this http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...what-they-mean)

I think mine will be here tomorrow and I will be taking a four hour drive later this week including lots of mountains so it should give it a good work through and a chance to see if it makes much difference.
