    This is as far as I am going I have two Trans ams to play with the GTP is my daily driver and the question is with the Mods in my Sig and I am getting a 3.4 Pully. What PCM should I go with. Overkill or DHP. Overkill cost more but I hear is a better tune. I do not think that I will ever need a retune thought because this is as far as I am going. I do not mind spending the money if it is a better tune

    DHP is a decent tune but they've been out of business for quite awhile now, so I'd go overkill.

    lol rly? omg no way what was I thinking trusting them to tune my car.........

    Its an off the shelf tweek there are no "big" changes to your base tune guy.. with any company the differences are minimal.

    I like ZZP I think their off the shelf tune I had before was great.

    Ive heard great thinks about overkill as well.

    The Overkill PCM is the way to go if you don't mind waiting the month it takes for it to arrive.

    Agreed...have you ever seen the timing tables of those things?

    I had 5 of their PCM's...all bad. Even their tuning guru...Eric or whatever his name is...is an idiot. He didn't even know what limp mode and programming mode were when I explained to him about the DIC flashing 0.0 all the time.

    As for Digital Horsepower being out of business...that means nothing. 3800Performance still sells their bin files as the guy that started DHP lives less than 20 minutes from 3800Performance's HQ. Their PCM's have been tried and true for YEARS and ave never had an issue...except for a guy trying to run a high compression bottom end with one.

    I would love to get a custom tune but they want like $500.00 for a place in CT to do it. That is just too much money.

    For a ridiculous tune the price is around there but I mean everything done to spec. I mean like a street tune, track tune, race gas tune etc all included.

    Most are around $300 depending on dyno hours. Cheaper if you street tune lol.

    Speed is an addiction the faster you go the slower it becomes.
