I just did an AEV Procal when I went to 35s. Was super simple to use.

I've farted around other forums, and searched here, and there seems to be a lack of info on tuners. :-/
I'm departing between a tuner (for added performance) or a simple programmer to reset my speedo for my new 35's...the programmers are around $170 or so....and the tuners are in the $300's. Either way it's a large purchase.
Does any one have any insight or suggestions before I just start experimenting!?
Thanks
If you're towing, or like using the skinny pedal more than you should, you'll get some better performance out of the engine with a tuner. Otherwise, just stick with the calibrator. The 3.6L motor was down-tuned a bit for the Jeep vs some of the other applications, the tuners bring most of that power back, but you really only see it at full-throttle stuff or heavy loads (towing). I have a programmer, because I like the skinny pedal. ;D
It annoys me to no end that what was $15 for a speedo gear, is now $150+ for a JK.
I did the FlashCal and it works great. Actually does a lot of other stuff too such as gear changes, DRL's, speedo and stuff like that. It can be upgraded to the tuner if you so choose via a software download evidently. I doubt I'll mess with it because the 3.6 gives me enough power but maybe with 35's the extra UMPH would be appreciated.

Even Quadratec now wants $35 for the speedo gear :o
After farting around the web some more ive found LOT of conflicting stories about regearing from my 3.21 with the 35's.
So ill put it to you all..the knowledge base I actually trust...is it necessary to regear from 3.21 or can I stick with what I have and just spend the $300 or so on a tuner to change my shift points or what ever. This is all new to me...as it is with most jeep things. 
additionally...what would I need to "re gear" from what ive seen it doesn't seem that expensive... which leads me to believe im not looking at the right equipment.
Regearing: 2 sets of gears, 2 master install kits, and the install. I charge $250 and axle plus u bring parts and consumables, like oil, towels, brake clean, ect. Most shops are in the $4-600 range for install. Gears run around $200 each for a decent set and mi kits are about $150.
You can always look around on eBay, Craigslist, and other classified sections for a used, but returned to stock programmer. They usually average about $150-175 and it beats paying $300.

I'm glad I was able to see this, Aaron. I'll definitely be looking to possibly re-gear by next spring/summer.
Just wanted to correct a typo. It should read $250 per axle for labor.

Pretty much how I read it "$250 an axle".
