    Alright here are the mods I have so far, the car has 135k on the top end of the motor(intake, supercharger, fuel rails, etc.) I have a 3.4 pulley, smaller supercharger belt to accomodate it, prj 10.4 mm racing plug wires, ngk tr6 plugs, 3 inch catless downpipe with an O2 simulator, zzp powerlog headers front and rear, zzp crossover pipe, fenderwell intake, l32 long block, and a zzp transmission, with stock gearing, now I bought a zzp pcm a while ago, put it in, and it made the car detonate, and the transmission slip, is there something more I need to do here to make this thing work or did I get jipped?

    Return it for a refund, and get a real tune. That is what I would do.

    Too bad you have to threaten them with the Attorney General before they issue a full refund on Electronic products.

    Ask me how I know.

    To the OP: Probably got jipped...put your stock PCM back in it and have the car tuned by a reputable tuner or find a local that knows the platform that can tune. I'm sure you are past the whole "canned PCM" thing. It needs a solid in car tune.

    Sucks to read about a bad tune after all those mods, hope ya get it running better. I must have gotten lucky (knock on wood) cause my Overkill PCM is doing great.

    Have you contacted zzp about it? They should at least take it back and redo the tune since something is obviously wrong with it if you trans is slipping. If you put a 3.5/3.6 pulley on does the knock go away?
