    You have all the flow mods and you are scanning, I don't see an issue.

    I just put a 3.5 on mine Friday and the difference is noticeable (noise and feel)

    You probably weren't around for it, but someone from ZZP basically stated they will ship what they believe the customer requires, not what they order.

    Yeah I heard a little about zzp and there issues bought some other thing from them without issue but seems weird to me that they could mess this one up...my shipping receipt even said 3.6 and was highlighted lol...some people say rockers are required for 3.5 others say u don't just looking for your guys opinions on this since zzp shipped me the wrong stuff lol

    its still wrong.. you ordered 1 thing, got shipped another.. contact, complain, get satisfaction. I know customer service isnt ZZP's strong suit, but still, you should have the new one shipped asap and some kinda compensation for the issue.

    That is a response I got from ZZP about the SSIC FMHE and LOL AOL ACCOUNT
    ​I took it as a dickish response.

    "no point in the logo if you cant see it"

    Really because everyone can see EVERY logo on their car all the time..

    I would run the 3.5 the difference between the 3.6 and 3.5 is so minimal. Every car is different as long as your scanning you'll know if you can or cannot run it safely.
    Squirrels are my engine. I need a Ford Regal
