Thread: HV3 High Velocity Intake Insert

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.

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
