    I'v been looking into PCM's for my prix and have read some stuff about them and what to buy and what not to buy. But im looking for some personal experience and opinions on whats best. Iv looked at the ZZP ones and the 3800 performance ones and a few others. Any help is appreciated!

    Don't get a zzp one...there has been to many bad instances. Go with an overkill pcm or Intense pcm.

    ive had the zzp one and i think it was just to harsh with how the car shifted plus they disable traction control. then i went with the intense one, i felt a difference with it over the zzp one and they keep the traction control option. then i just got hptuners and tunned it myself. i havent had any experience with overkill but hear good things. one thing i do not like about them is they lock there pcms so if you ever want to tune it your self or take it to a shop they will not be able to tune it. you will have to send it back to overkill for them to redo it unless they unlock it for you? i would stay clear of zzp though and dhp. hope that helps a bit
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    Ok so I don't know if this is a stupid question but is the DHP and 3800 pcm the same? I haven't really seen anyone talk about the 3800 pcm that much.

    yes, it is. awesome PCM from my personal experience. the only downside is people have reported it taking over a month to get your refund in the mail, once they've received your old one
