anyone tried loading the 2010 ROM onto an 08?

Hi Doodz,

For my tephramods stuff I want to release as little rom's as possible.

So it would be quite helpful to only do the most recent 2010 GSR/MR ROM's...

Can someone test the 2010 rom on a 2008?

Cheers
D.

What could or would be the benefits of running a 2010 rom on a 2008? Sorry I know this sounds a bit no0b. Is there something in the 2010 rom's that are far better then the 2008?

2010's have lean spool, and other things. He just wants to have 1 load for everyone.

I just noticed my User Level is only 'Advanced', is that what's keeping me from completing the flash? Let me know and I can try again.

your only going to get more power if your still on the stock tune..

and the only reason you would be on the stock tune is to keep your warranty..

and doing this would "void" that warranty anyways
