    What's up ppl been awhile since I have been on due to laptop being a POS and stop working. So this is coming from blackberry so bare with me plz. I have a ZZP PCM atm and HATE it. Shifts so retarded. Question is, should I get overkill pcm or tuner? I don't know a lot about tuning so I have stayed away from it. I hear Will is the man when it comes to tuned pcms. What should I do?

    if you refuse to learn to tune and buy a tuner (at least $300) then will is your best bet.

    A tuner will always win over a tuned pcm, No matter who does them. And that's on any car.

    I'm just not sure about messing with it myself. 1 mistake and engine goes poof. It would be nice to have tho. How much would I be looking at for everything I need?

    depends..you can snag a DHP powertuner for ~$300, but if you get into HPTuners youre looking at around $500.

    you also need a laptop to run it and all the accessories..

    Does the Tuner come with everything? Or is there extra software I need to purchase along with it?
