link please to the $100 pcm. and this $100 pcm would really make a difference? it would be better than a 30$ chip? what kind of difference would it make? and how would it effect my MPG (help, hurt, or no difference)?

INTENSE-Racing.com: INTENSE™ Reprogrammed 3800 Powertrain Control Module (PCM) <<<link for $100 pcm. Overkill is a better option,but at a higher price. From what ive seen & heard its worth it to hold out for the Overkill PCM. Oh, and as for the fuel economy, your foot has the most effect on your MPG's
