    i had a zzp pcm in my last gtp, i got lucky and it gave me no problems, and performance wise it wasnt bad. i think 3800 performance gets theirs from zzp actually (correct me if im wrong). Intense i heard is good, it is the one i am probably gonna get, i would get that or one from overkill if i were you. But really nothing is better than tuning it yourself

    I would not get one from zzp. I would go to overkill or TDC on this site. I have a zzp one and the tune is junk. With all the mods in my sig I am still getting up to 6* KR. I should be able to run a smaller pulley with none, if I had a good tune.

    Well you can order a PCM from Will at Overkill he is based out of Toronto. Here is the link even though it's 169$ I will either go with Overkill/Intense or a buddy is just learning to tune so I might get him to do it

    I have a 3800 PCM. I can definitely tell the diff between the stock and this one. not sure if its the greatest since i have yet to try a different brand.

    the one from 3800 performance (DHP 1.0) is a pretty decent base tune, but beyond a 3.4 pulley setup you really should have a tune done specifically for your car.

    i definitely agree, mail order tune will only do so much.
