Is there something you can monitor to make sure the PCM tune is good??

i would really look in the FS section at the HPTuners thats in there.... would be a great investment

Well, Aeroforce comes in today so it'll but up and running by tomorrow. I'll check out the knock retard and if its okay, I'll run with it for now. Still looking at doing some more work down the road so no doubt that the next tune will come from Overkill. I make regular trips to the junk yard so I actually have an extra pcm if needed. Thank you all again for the help

Please dont spend money on mail order tuning... Its fun if you want to get a harder shifting trans, but as far as motor performance goes you are never really going to get anywhere with a mail order tune that you couldnt with mechancial changes.

If your "Tune sucks" when you get the areoforce on, do not just run out and buy another black box pcm assuming that it has more magic dust inside it than the zzp one does.

$1,000 is a nice budget. You can shop around on the few 3800 forums and buy alot with that. I got a PLOG(front header) and downpipe for $110 total which is suffecent exhaust for most cars for 3.6, headers(speed daddy off ebay $200) would ofcourse be better but buy half this crap used from memebers man. This forum has some pretty honest guys
