ZZP good brand name?

[tayl5645]

Been looking at getting a flash for my PCM... Well heard you guys talk about them and better yet, I wouldnt have to pay for a core charge because I can drive to them :-p. Just wondering what you guys think about their tunes. Let me know

[Bio248]

they are one of the top companies out there for our cars. they do good work, but watch your back. sometimes they can play games.

[tayl5645]

Good to know. What type of games are we talking? Im not planning this super soon gonna let my warranty on my car run out before I flash my car

[Bio248]

like...doing what they want and not what you want. its your car, you make the decisions.

PM Reptile for a PCM Flash. He's way more reasonable and reliable for the PCM tunes.

[tayl5645]

Got ya.. And the problem with Pming someone else... Is ill be getting a new PCM and I will either have to send mine in to them before or send it after I replace mine with the one they send. This way I can just drive my car there have them flash it and drive it home

[tayl5645]

Just thought of another point as well.. A lot of people I have notice on this forum only deal with the earlier gen cars ... Hard to find people to do stuff for the 04+s

i find it best to hold on to your stock pcm, never know when you might need it again. ive fried a few aftermarket ones and was lucky to have my stocker to get me around

[BillBoost37]

Best of luck with them. I have heard good and bad. Most of the experience I've had first hand has been bad. Like mentioned...watch them closely, ask them to show you the changes so that you understand what was done.

[SlowNA06]

If you're within driving distance, I'd say call them and ask for a custom dyno tune. It would make more power, be more reliable, and have less risk.

IMO id go with intense-racing.com tune or a custom one not from ZZP

[KawaFord]

I had a ZZP, worked great.

I'd keep the stock one in case, but I sold my stock one when I got the ZZP.

[01gpgt01]

Intense blew alot of cars up a few years back. Granted times have changed but id steer clear. Go to zzp there tunes are decent if your mildly moded. And almost every single mod that will fit on a 97-03 will work on a 04 plus. Intake/intercooler and blower specific parts are different. Headers/cams/rockers/springs ect all the same

^ I usually hear them referred to as "$hitense-racing"

I've had my zzp pcm for ~7 years with no prob's whatsoever....

[blueguy]

I had 6 ZZP PCM's and none of them were right and they were always shipped to me sitting in Programming Mode...they would never give me my stocker back and weren't even going to refund me all of my money either. They got my stock PCM but when I told them about the Missouri Attorney General's Office...I had my check in 2 days. Every cent of it...their last PCM ended up destroying the sh1t out of my original motor though. I wish I would have spent the extra 20 bucks on a DHP PCM. Tried and true for many years with no issues ever.

[VictorSmalls]

I have ran an overkill and had problems with the wrong gear setting installed. I have ran 3 ZZP PCMs and had great luck with all of them, including the turbo PCM they made mail order for me.

i had Intense do a pcm for my top swap, i didn't think it was knocking, my scan gauge read 0.0 knock in all the rpm ranges.

then i had the car dyno tuned, and in 3rd gear i hit a whopping 14* of knock

now i tune my own car, it takes time, headaches, and reading but in the end its worth it
