Being that you have a 2008 6-speed, I don't know if I would bother. I ran one on my 2007 with a 6-speed and didn't really notice enough of a difference to warrant one. Not saying that it doesn't help, it's just not enough to matter or, at least in my opinion. Now, if you had an automatic, I would definitely recommend it as I definitely saw performance gains on my 2007 2-door with an auto and on my 2009 4-door with an auto.

Thank you for the prompt reply, seems it is designed mostly around auto trans. Guess a re-gear seems to be the better investment for my application. Does it matter the brand (ring n pinion)?

I think Eddie probably remembers this, but I was running the flashpack on my 07 6speed and it really gave me a lot of problems from spark knock to stalling out and it didn't matter what setting I had it on either. I finally set it back to stock and only use it for the speedo calibration.
All the gears are made by the same South Korean manufacturer and just packaged in different boxes. You really can't go wrong with any of the brands out there.
I do remember that and have to say that I never had any of those problems. Still, for a 6-speed, I think you're better off just calibrating your speedo and calling it a day.

I appreciate the advice from your experience with this! I would rather plug in the LS V8 instead, LOL!!

Excellent, I can see Northridge4x4 has a set with my name on it!
@ 50k on the clock, have you seen them needing an overhaul kit or just the ring and pinion?
Better to have it not need it than to need it not have it...

so all the options on the Flashpaq like the crawl tune, performance tune, and econ tune are mostly just messing with the auto tranny? while it wasnt much putting a CAI and cat back system on mine gave me a little boost but it would always be nice to get more even with the 6 speed.
