WOT = wide open throttle aka "pedal to the metal" or "give'n 'er"

Step 1: Choose what company you want
Step 2: Buy the PCM
Step 3: Keep everything normal...don't tell you you want extra crap because you don't have enough mods for it
Step 4: wait
Step 5: Get it in the mail and install and enjoy
Step 6: To go faster, get a custom tune...don't deal with this mail order crap.
Step 11endy million: Research. If your on a car forum and havent learned what WOT is...I suggest searching, googling, and lots of reading for you sir.

Buying an Intense PCM is like paying someone to punch you in the face.

that bad huh? guess i should come up with a new plan.

They're known to toast tranny's and the ZZP's were known to blow motors.
DHP is the only mail order PCM I would buy.
04-23-2010
Where can i get a "custom" tune then???
04-23-2010
start looking local for shops that have a good rep on the street and see what they have for online reviews and such
that or post in the forums in your area to find a tuner

I've been around the since the time that DHP and 3800performance PCM's where the only available aftermarket. Intense started doing PCM's and toasted quite a few engines by ramping up the timing tables. Then it was found that their tranny settings weren't agressive, but they just maxed every value out. Hap-hazard tuning practices...
I know ZZP did have some issues in the past also, but not nearly as much/as bad as Intense.
DHP is the way to go in this case.

my intense pcm had factory trans settings...
it blew pee-pee hole, 9* of knock, I'm surprised my motor is still alive.
then i had a reputable shop dyno tune the car...
$428 later, i went 2 mph slower in the 1/4 and a hole lot of wtf in my file
now a local member is helping me out...
He couldn't use anything in my pcm, so he started from a factory gtp file, street tuning to come, we'll see where that takes the car
