    I bought my 02 gtp and it already had an Intense PCM, colder t*, k&n intake, etc. I now
    am having the p0420 and want to know if i can tune it out or not. And if i cannot, how bad would putting
    in a ZZP pcm be on my vehicle if it's had the Intense PCM for quite some time.

    P0420 is likely a vacuum leak, not a PCM issue. Check your vac hoses and replace if needed, the car is twelve years old by now. Other possible sources of vac leaks include the EGR passage, the S/C gasket, and the boost bypass valve.

    Sounds like you need the code deleted.
