[dmoney01]

i am thinking about buying a pcm from zzp and would like to know if anybody knows anything about if they are good or bad and if no good were to get a good one at?

[99prixgt]

wrong section to post but, absolutely not. Get an Overkill or an Intense pcm.

[dmoney01]

it took me long enough to figure out how to put this thing on here lol but what are the web sites to get the intense one?

just a question... why do you guys call it a pcm????

is it programed control unit maybe??



everyone i know just calls it a chipped ecu...

[99prixgt]

because thats what it is power control module

[99gpse]

OHHH lol i see...

now do you know where to find me a pcm for a C25A OBD-0??? lol

[dmoney01]

ok cool thanks, do you have one of these in your car?

[99prixgt]

yeah I went with overkill on my gt, going to be doing a custom tune tho soon due to bigger mods on the way.

[dmoney01]

cool, also are thes pcms bad for the car?

[99prixgt]

no not at all, just as long as you don't get a zzp one lol

[dmoney01]

lol alright cool all this like right tunning and sutff is confusing to me is there anyway to just find one that is set for everything already and i jsut plug it in and go?

I would not suggest ZZP. I have one on my 04 and I just order Wills pcm about 3 days ago. ZZP may have some good products but in my oppinion this is not one of them.

what mods do you currently have?

[dmoney01]

i have a 3.4 zzp pulley a gator belt a full k&n air intake system 180 stat and colder spark plugs but am ordering the u bend delete

[99prixgt]

you shouldn't drop pulley sizes until you have all your exhaust mods done first. IMO put that 3.8 pulley back on, get at least a plog or headers then put that 3.4 on and shoot Will at overkill an email for your pcm reflash

[dmoney01]

lol what is a pcm reflash? and i cant jsut buy this one from intense and put it on and go?

[FoSHO99]

no not at all, just as long as you don't get a zzp one lol

Whats the matter with zzp's? I've been more impressed with them over intense's files, there is more attention to details. Overkill also locks his pcms so the tune is worthless after you get a tuner.

There needs to be more facts or evidence before you start bashing companies like zzp.

[99prixgt]

well when they tap into the pcm and do custom tuning, i sometimes call it a pcm reflash. yeah either one is good, you need to do a "security relearn" and a "case learn" after you put the new one in.
