no...

I've asked MTH if they could make a custom file for that issue, but they can't.

Dealer told me I would have to get a 2005 ECU.

I guess I'll just forget about my cruise control.

If you ask me, the 05 gearing & LSD are a lot better than a cruise control lol

I saw a post about a year ago where the difference was a second or two on a road course.......so what do you think?
well if you wait till clutch time(honey .....my damded clutch went today !!! wink wink ) some of the labor will be absorbed by that alone .
