    So, I like the idea and sounds of the ZZP PCM, but I am getting conflicting information from users on the board. I apologize if this is a repeat subject, I searched for ZZP and PCM but they are too short of keywords. What do you think about the ZZP PCM 1.0? Good idea or not? Why or why not?


    Edit : This would be used for an '01 GP GT N/A.


    Thanks,

    Brammer

    all ive heard from a lot of people is that they have problems with them. i have never ran one myself, but a canned tune is never the answer for a good setup. if you really want an off the shelf PCM i would recommend intense, DHP, or overkill.

    I've also looked at the Intense brand name one that seems to be recommended. I'm basically looking for some guidance on buying one for an '02 GT.

    Thanks,

    While I'm asking who makes this one, found at WBodyStore :

    Performance Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

    Thanks,

    I apologize I got the search to work for me. Had to search *ZZP +*PCM. I see now the ZZP are crap compared to Overkill, DHP and Intense. I also understand it would be better to tune it myself. However if I wanted an out of the box tune just to wake the car up a little bit. Which of the three mfg's listed would be my best bet?
