I had this done to my 11' last Friday; it definately improved the throttle response.
I don't know if it added more power but it definately made the motor smoother and easier to drive at some rev's; no more sort of stumbling, waiting for it to go, definately an improvement.

What are you using to re-program your 2011?

As was said complete flash but painless. Had this done along with the softop recall (they just look at it and give you the kit).

wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Matt, I had settings changed when I lifted and replaced tires. I have a Procal. Are you saying I have to change back? (side note, no f#&*ng idea how to do that). Just popped into this thread and now I'm all confused.......

Default Recall

Just got my notice...as I read it, the Oxygen sensor is failing to signal the OBD. So I guess if I don't get it done, I should pass the that part of the inspection every time. In NJ, our inspection is to read the OBD for trouble codes and sniffer for emissions. I guess it could still fail the emissions sniffer.

ProCal settings are unaffected.

Do you mean I can just go in for recall and it doesn't matter?

That would be cool....

I wonder if this has anything to do with all the pinging issues with these motors?

Yes. Just like I said in post #4 on the 1st page. I'm talking AEV ProCal only, no other "tuner".
