    Has anyone here had any problems with ZZP PCMs. I installed mine and lost 1st and 4th gears. Its there a better company to go with. Its a long story but it is the PCM. I cant get ZZP to answer me back.

    Hard to say what the problem could be, but in my experience with their pcm's, you have a 70% chance of things not going right with them. Unfortunately, I don't know what to tell you to do to get them to answer you back.

    I've never used a ZZP PCM, but have heard countless horror stories ranging from your issue to blowing entire engines. I went with an Intense PCM and like it: INTENSE-Racing.com. or DHP also makes a very good one you can get from from 3800 Performance

    Does anyone have experience with both DHP and INTENSE? Which one did you like better?

    The description on INTENSE's website makes it sound better

    They have better marketing on their website?? Their description sounded more enticing than DHP's
