has anyone ordered a performance pcm from wbodystore? if so did u notice any power gains or anything? thinking of ordering one for my 2000 mc 3800

 

I heard there ok but best results have been from overkill from what I've seen

 

I recommend overkill, had mine done and been very happy with it

 

is the pcm from overkill just a plug n go or do I need to do anything else. my mc ss is basically stock besides a cold air intake and magnaflow mufflers

 

If you plan on doing any other mods, I would hold off on getting the pcm done until you have finished your mods. That way you will get the maximum benefit from the tune. Will @ Overkill is a great guy and if you send him an email he will be more than happy to give you valuable information as he has a lot of experience with the 3800 motors. If you don't plan on modding your car any further then go for the tune and let Will know what you have done and he will do what he does to the pcm. You can either send him yours, or pick up one from a junk yard and send it to him, or he may have one that he can program and send to you, I know he just moved recently so not sure what he may have on hand for inventory, but definitely shoot him an email, like I said he is a great guy and does good work.

There is a member on the forum that also does pcm tuning his user name is "The Maniac" and he is also very knowledgeable and always willing to give great advice and he may be able to give you a tune that would be more suited to your car with the current mods you have, I will see if I can find his post and put it in here so you can click on it and send him an email as well. Never hurts to get a second opinion either

I had a ZZP pcm. I thought it was okay, did the job. But... I recommend having a performance shop dynotune it or have someone with HPTuners experience, a lot of it, and have them tune it. CAN tunes from performance websites are good for basic mods, but anything further, I'd go to a live shop and pay for the reliability and making it specific to your car

 

I agree with ohara about not considering a pcm yet if you are planning to do other mods. Moreover, you can get a HPTuner and learn how to tune a PCM by yourself.

 

I appreciate all the advice guys
