    yeah its got FUEL TRIM for the gears but it doesnt mean that changing the gear ratio is going to affect the tune.

    Oh lord. Think about it. If they have a fuel trim for each gear (meaning you have change the amount of fuel per gear), if you changed a transmission with different gears, you still think the tune will be the same as before?

    That brings up another point, if gearing has nothing to do with horsepower output, why do you have to change the fueling per gear? Fuel will follow the VE of a engine.
