PCM tuning questions


Kent's SS

Recommended Posts

I am very interested in getting a PCM tuning from all of the user postings I have seen on here. I am no gear head by any means and I don't race my SSS. I just want to increase performance a bit and get more bang for my buck.

 

I have looked at the PCM4LESS website and was examining the order form. Most of the items on the form I was thinking should be left at LEAVE AS IS since I have mostly stock equipment. The only real performance add on I have is a CAI.

 

With all of these options being left as LEAVE AS IS are there still modifications that Bryan makes that will help out? Or am I really only paying to have one or two settings reprogrammed?

 

I'm not trying to recommend or sell PCMFORLESS, I have just seen many recommendations for his service. I am also looking into the other services that other users have talked about. His site was the only one that I saw with the online order form with all the questions on it in terms of what can be tuned so I used it as my example.

 

Also, from your guy's experience, what do you suggest doing in terms of doing a PCM exchange or should I get another PCM? Will this tuning void the manufacturer warranty? Should I replace the stock PCM whenver I take my truck in to be worked on? Any problems with getting a modified PCM and it stop working for some reason?

 

Thanks for your help!

I have PCM4Less tune on my truck and my only mods are exhaust and c.a.i and I am completely happy with it. You could always call Bryan I did and talk to him about your questions he was very helpful to me. He turns off abuse modules and stuff like that and you get like a 30+RWHP gain and 1-1.5 mpg increase. I kept my stock PCM for just incase reasons.

Why dont you just have a tune done face to face.. if you are in northwestern Il I can do that for you at a short version of PCM' for less's price..

 

And if you are unhappy with the tune I can put your stock one back in no harm no foul your money refunded..

 

And I can explain to you in person what is done in the tune and show you the effects.

 

I just did a tune for Bonj87 from the forum as well as 1fastss from las vegas.

 

And everything I know as far as tuning goes has been learned from zippy as well as learning as I go. I have a low 13 second naturally asperated truck that gets 23 mpg highway with a fairly large cam and a set of dart heads. That should give you a little of my experience.

Cool... I might just have to consider that.

 

Nothing against PCM4LESS but an in person tune would be great, especially if I can drive it around for a little bit afterward to make sure I like any changes.

 

Which 'burb you in? I'm in Sterling, IL so I'm about 2 hours from Aurora.
