they both good, but i think milzy probably better. my recommendation for you is "overkill motorsport" he's in canada i heard nothing but good feedback on his pcm. read this thread

just get a custom HP tune. probably cost you about $100 more, but if you subtract that you'd be paying a core charge for the canned pcm from intense or miltzy which is usually $40 bucks, your really only paying about $60 bucks more. local guys everywhere, or pretty much any credible shop should do it. the pcm zzp sent me with my mods made around 210 wheel horsepower, had my shop do a custom HP tune with the exact same setup, gave me 234 to the wheels. thats right, 24 wheel HP difference! thats worth the extra money.

X2! There's so much potential in them there PCMs that, to get the best performance out if your car, a local shop with access to a tuner like HP Tuner can release it the best and for not that much more. Besides, if anything gets jacked up, it's a lot faster and easier to take the car to the locals than to wait for the PCM to return from wherever you shipped it to.

he might not have anyone close by can tune for him that's why he's asking. not everybody that have the HP tuner can tune good. if you can't tune right you more likely do bad to the car than good just my .02 cent.

True that! But living in PA, where many of the owners in this forum reside, someone has to know of a good tuning shop. I had to buy my own 'cause no one near me, OKC, has one. BTW, wish me luck tuning my car.

Oh man, that must have hurt deep. I'm turbo-ing my Monty in Jan. I'm going to have a friend mechanic giving me a hand so I'm not worried about the install. Just the tuning. I'm hopeful that I'm a fast learner.
