If you change gears can you ever go back to stock tune?

I changed to 4.10 gears and change the gear ratio with the tuner. If i have to take the CAI off for some reason and I put the car back to stock what happens to the gear ratio? Does that go back to 3.31 (auto) or stay at 4.10?

I'd imagine you could run a stock tune just recal the speedo through the X-cal or whatever tuner you have.

can you return it to stock and then go back in with the tuner and just change the gears?

yes. the tune and gear adjustment can be manipulated seperately.

change the tune and everything else to stock before you take it in.

I switch tunes often even with my gear change. Just get a decent tuner like a SCT or Diablosport. I do not know about the X-cal but yes you can switch back and forth.

No. Your speedo will be off by 15+mph with the stock tune and that's on a manual that originally had 3.55's. There's no way to adjust the stock tune.

Same, I can change to 4:10's when uploading a tune, but if i return to stock, i dont see how I can only adjustthe gear ratiowithout putting in a tune. Ill go fiddle with the tuner and see if it can be done though, seeing as im going to 4:10's in, count them, 9 hours and 47 minutes =)

you cant adjust for gears in the stock tune.....you can use a modified stock tune but that would defeat the purpose since you are not returning to stock
