    Alright guys I finally have some money and the warm weather up here last week got me thinking about moding my GTP that's in storage right now. I have a few mods in mind that I want to start with one being the ZZP 1.0 PCM, I searched for info on it and nothing came up. What is everyone's opinion on it.

    Other mods in mind...

    -new radiator mine is shot just, its clogged with ****.
    (Oversized Aluminum Radiator from zzp)
    -180 t-stat
    -zzp modular pully system with 3.5"
    -U-Bend Delete

    Since I already have a Home Depot custom intake with cone filter I am good in that department.

    Really I am looking for input on the PCM but other input would be good too.

    Thanks

    Why is the pcm bad and is there a better place to get one?

    search around there is a couple different vendors... overkill is highly spoken of

    search around on the forums for others and do some research and find one that fits your needs

    if you really want to make your car fast right away then skip EVERYTHING and get an intercooler. it is by far the best mod you can buy. then i would open up the exhaust with a 3" downpipe or headers. from there you could potentially be down to a 3.0 pulley already with the right tune.

    Intercooler huh alright I my just do this, not that I am lazy and can't search for myself but where would be a decent place to buy a good intercooler from?

    When I started modding I got all of that plus a 3" dp and autolie 104's. With the zzp pcm I was getting up to 9* KR. I plan on switching mine out soon.

    get a ZZP stage 2 intercooler. should run you around $1000 if you install and tune it yourself. it is really the easiest bolt on and run mod you can have since all youre doing is reducing the temperature of the intake charge.
