    I was looking at the zzp web site and seen the PCM. I wanted to buy it but I wasn't sure if it was just a plug n drive type or had to do the security relearn. I seen all the people who bought it were 04+ sc n I have an 03 gt. If any one got any ideas with it please share.

    Do you mean a CASE learn? I believe that if you have a vendor re-tune your current PCM, it will not be necessary. If you buy a reprogrammed PCM and it replaces your current PCM, you likely need a case learn. Some people seem to get by without a CASE learn, but you should plan on it.

    I believe a GM Tech II scanner or HP Tuners will be able to perform a CASE learn for you.

    And if you throw the case learn code and you don't go to the dealer to get it taken care of what happens? Bad performance?
