    Yeah power is fine with the manual. No worries... Don't derate.

    3.08s would improve fuel economy, especially if you run faster than 60 mph.

    Yeah same Tq @ lower rpm and slightly lower hp with XE
    If you could flash 455-XE into it, then go 2.64s
    XE package is iShift exclusive... Not sure if you could make it work with a manual somehow

    The 500 Eco is good with 3.08s....... Could try 2.85s

    Don't Derate it! Mine is at 500 up from 425 and it's just enough for me. I can't imagine turning the power on any engine down. I am iShift but I don't worry about the warranty. My truck had a new tranny at 500k due to a deer tearing out the tranny lines and killing the tranny with the previous owner.

    I was stupid and had my retuned to a 500hp straight torque. I had a 425 ecotorque tune from the factory. Truck originally was a 10 speed manual with 3.42 rears. Now has 13 speed with same rears. Fuel economy is crap now.
