    Both are good. Most people just shun Intense and ZZP tunes, is all. Overkill has a weak service reputation (hard to get a hold of, slow work, etc).
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I have literally zero experience with Overkill PCMs so I'm not going to tell you anything bad about them. The only thing I'd tell you is to research WHY people say they are better than any other canned tunes. If there's just a few posts of people saying how much they like them and then 50 people read that and are all of the sudden posting about how great Overkill's PCMs are then that's not real data, it's a bunch of people passing information on second hand. Something tells me the amount of people recommending Overkill PCMs out numbers the amount of people that have actually gotten Overkill PCMs. :-)

    That said, it might be the best canned tune. Just make sure you get some solid facts as to why.
