04GangiSS Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 I am looking for the best programmer on the market...which one is that? Also I'm new with the whole PCMforless thing...can someone explain that to me? I would like to have the ability to retune my engine back to stock for warranty reasons…which is the best way to go? I would prefer a handheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmax Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 well from what I understand the dealer can see a handheld but cannot see the PCM tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04GangiSS Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 your stupid redmax, they can see that it is not a stock pcm...with a handheld you can turn your comp back to stock...and you unplug it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 handhelds are worthless IMO. The whole warranty thing will probably never come up. It'a waste of money to purchase a handheld. You get very little performance for the amount of money you spend. A mail-order tune is better and probably the best option for a stock SS. Once you start modding that can change depending on what mods you add. Mail-order tunes are still pretty good for most bolt ons but once you add FI you're going to most likely need a dyno tune unless you can provide your mail-order tuner data logs which will require tunnning software. Get a mail-order tune till you're ready to add major HP and you'll be fine. pcmforless is a mail-order tuner. You pay for tune and they send you a tuned pcm and you send them your pcm. Pretty simple but can be a pain if you constantly mod like most of us do. Not sure which handheld is the best. I've only tried one and it was alright. It was a superchips handheld.

SSThunder Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 how much hp out of a PCM for less...and how much does it cost? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it's like 25-50 HP for the SS. Not sure of the price. . Zippy is also a mail-order tuner on the site. You can email him for a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
