    Not really. His PCM's are generically tuned for the specific mods, every car is different and will react differently to certain mods. What overkill is doing is basically just using an educated guess, it isn't specifically for HIS car.

    yeah cause i was thinking about getting the overkill pcm to put in my car with what they already programmed into it so. and the only i am going to do know for my car is just add the overkill pcm and the the wizaired cai do and later on add the everything else like exhaust mod and pulley sizes drop. the thing is i dont want to be sending my overkill pcm back and foward.

    my bad i mis worded that. spicificly for the mods on your car. but if you get the overkill intended just for the intake. your gonna have to get it retuned later. you might be able to get away with not tunning it when you get exhaust, but if you wanna drop pulley sizes you deff gotta get it retuned. if you do decide to go with a pcm just dont go with a zzp pcm. to many complaints about those.

    if i was you i would just wait till you get all your mods and then get the overkill. everyone seems to say overkill is the best. or just get a tunner and do it yourself. they say intese is pretty good to, some have an intese with no problems, some still have problems. i would just wait for the overkill IMO and save your self the headach about IF it will work good on your car, and if not your gonna have a run around trying to send back pcms. just do it right the first time

    FWIW, even though Will's PCM's are "generically" tuned for certain mods, they will run circles around a DHP and Intense. I've scanned the differences on two cars, and his are hands down the best.

    Just speaking from experience.

    Well if you do plan on getting more exhaust mods and the 3.4" in the future then just get it tuned for those plus your current mods. You'll probably just run a little rich and your fuel trims might not be the best either (I know from experience lol), but it will get you by just fine until you do decide to get those future mods.

    Yeah, it's hard to compare unless someone's got both. I may have "seen" the bin file to a DHP before and maybe one of Will's at one time, and I can tell you that Will takes the time to go through things, make sure that they are correct for that specific car. A DHP while it works....only has a few things changed on it. They work, but not as much as someone who goes through the whole programming to make sure it's right.

    and the front manifolds on our cars SUCK. i pulled mine off and couldent belive how restrictive it was. its not even round. kinda like squared and clamped in. if your going to be running it hard a power log is a safe investment.
