It's probably not as useful for a Manual transmission, eh?


Although, it'd be nice for the Speedo to be correct ( ).


How does it improve the ESP???

In my experience, having everything back in line means that things like going around a curvy entry ramp while accelerating means that the ESP is less likely to be set off. By correcting the speedo for tire size it gets the speed to steering wheel ratio back in line.

Wow! Huge change....not really

The speedo is now accurate. I don't notice anything really different. Seems to drive just as good if not a little better. I am glad the speedo is correct, the mpg thing is now more accurate.

I measured my 33" toyos and they only measure 31.5" at about 30 psi. I have 15-20K on them but I would say there is close to half the tread left.

I can now give myself day time running lights too!

Hey Duneslider, do you have an auto? Does it shift better?

I do have the auto. To be honest it is hard to say. I noticed you are from Utah, I drove to kamas and back last night but with the wind it is hard to say if I noticed anything. If it did change it was subtle. As I mentioned though, my tires have shrunk a lot.

I still feel good about my purchase, I don't know why but my gas mileage on the first tank was better than it had been.

Made a pretty noticeable difference on mine. I no longer have to shut off the OD just to get on the freeway without getting run over.

Hey I just noticed too, Riverton, cool! I live just east of you! I was looking at the Procal and wanted (needed) better shift points. Im running 35's and glad to hear you like the Procal. It def was windy last night! Crazy wind!

Got mine today from Northridge (on time as always) took 2 seconds to set for tire size. I am auto running 35 KM2s. They measured 34" even. I will be going for a test drive in a bit and report back with my results

Is the Procal or Flashpaq worth the investment with the 6-speed. I am only trying to readjust my speedo since putting in new gears and tires.
