Of course it feels faster with a PCM with a bunch of timing thrown at it running lean. Lean cars run faster but blow up all the time. And whooptie do on beating a 270hp Veedub...they suck, they're slow. I'm quick to say that because I know, your car DIES after 5 grand, HARD. That means your knocking and the PCM is retarding your timing. Go get your car TUNED. And by tuned I mean by someone that knows how to tune and not ZZPerformance's canned bullcrap ones. But since you know it all throw your ZZP PCM back in it and rape the **** out of your car, I mean, since it is faster...faster is everything right?
