Yes. Once you install the new ECU, then you can pair it with any tuner (2007-2010). And, RIPP actually works with RPMExtreme for their kits:

If the "new" ECU is basically an 07-10 ECU then it should work great with the RIPP kit as you'll then be able to use RIPP's Gen 2 kit and tune. I think you'll lose your cruise control though as it's analog in the pre-2011's, and digital thereafter (you might double-check, but I believe I have that right).

I've also talked to the RPMextreme guy, and he was very pleasant and super helpful.

Yes, the "new" ECU is an VIN-less 07-10, keyed to your '11 VIN, and you do lose the cruise.

Well, I do have the RIPP kit on mine, and getting ready to switch over from the piggyback setup to new injectors and a custom tune. Will let you know how it is afterwards!!!

Been using the ECU swap on a 2011 with the RIPP SC for about 1,500 miles now and it's working well. You lose cruise control but everything else appears the same. RPMextreme was easy to work with.
