    You can however buy a pre-tuned PCM for your car from a vendor...like I said, click the link in my thread and read...you'll get quite a bit of info from it. Seems like you gotta do some reading anyways new guy

    I'd recommend at LEAST a downpipe or a u-bend delete when you do the HV3 though, as it needs to help flowinininin.
    That is where I got the idea for the intake. Can the U-Bend delete be done by a noob? what is a downpipe (such a noob )? Would this do the trick http://www.3800performance.com/Merch...roduct_Count=2? and do I need the upper intake inset as well? It is $60 more.


    Thanks reading it right now!

    This is Chinese to me

    yes that PCM would work for ya. The downpipe is the section of the exhaust that connects the rear manifold to the catback. If you purchase a downpipe it will eliminate the u bend.

    Thanks! What order should should I get everything? I can't afford all the parts at once. Should I buy the PCM first, so when I install the rest of the mods in my car, my car will take advantages of the mods right away? do I need the upper intake inset as well? It is $60 extra.


    Update: called a shop then they had me call a
    performance car shop, which had me call the dealer because, the crank sensor position (or CASE) needs to be learned after install of the PCM. Dealer wants $200 for PCM install + CASE learned. I'm going to do this when I get my tax return....cant wait! The PCM going cost me $225 ($100 deposit on new core) then I get $100 of it back when I send them my old core. At the end of the day it going cost me $325, which not bad, I plan on spending more then I spent on this car making this baby purr . If I get everything done to this car that I want to, it should be faster then a stock GTP hopefully After PCM installed, I want to install the HV3 air intakes inserts and install a down pipe. I also would like to do that mod where you have the air filter exposed. Do not know what to mod next... I am looking for acceleration over speed and saving gas. If I wanted to save gas I would bought a v4
