Will can remove the P0420 code. He can also remove the EGR codes and such.

Since you have the 180, he'll also lower your fan turn-on speeds to probably 185-190 from the 212 that it currently is.

Make sure you note if you don't want him to cut off your AC when your throttle is pressed all the way down.
I don't mind, we're at $3.30 for 87 here, and $3.60 for 91
So that's around a $5 difference for a full tank? Not that much lol but if the power difference between 87 and 91 isn't much then I should just get an 87
For the 420 code delete should I just make note of it in the Modifications tab? Lol I don't mind the AC shutoff either lol

The 420 code can be eliminated if you stop letting your pothead nephew use your Monte..... ha ha
Damn $5?? Crazy lol

420

Don't have money for an HV3 lol
Gotta focus on my suspension next, probably getting new struts for it, all 4 new hubs, whatever bushings I may need and an alignment lol but I'll just wait till I get new tires lmao it's too late for these currents ones i have, they're already starting to wear uneven on the inside.

The 87 tune from Will at Overkill is pretty good! The car shifts at a higher RPM. Way faster than before. No speed limiter, higher RPM limit, AC Shutoff, and he'll customize to your current mods. He'll even customize to your future mods if you add it to the list.

Nothing will beat a good ole in-person tune or dyno tune but for the canned tunes, Will will rock you! Tell him Shandley sent you!

Now, I was/am considering a 91 octane tune. Will and I discussed it and he mentioned you MUST put in 91 octane or you can get a very bad destructive knock but he also said he was able to put in a fail safe in case you forget and put in a lower octane one time. I have not jumped the gun yet but it would be great to see how the car performs with a 91 octane tune, especially in my N/A.

Be sure to enter your VIN number correctly on his website. He'll match it for you on the new PCM.

I should mention that his communication with email is not great. I've waited 5 minutes for a reply one day and 3 months for one the next. Aside form that, he's great!
