I'd do a lot more research, a PCM shouldn't be the first thing you buy if you want performance.

The Milzy Motorsports Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is great for stock to mildly modded cars with induction mods and exhaust mods.
The features are:
Removal of all speed limiters
Higher shift points
Higher rev limiter
Shift firmness adjusted
Ignition timing advanced
Cooling fan control (180°)
Cooling fans on at key-off for 180 seconds
Rear O2 Bank Code Removed
Etc.
theres a list of whats included in the tune.
you should do the core charge, because he can sometimes take forever to ship out but its a good quality item overall

You should for sure do other mods first, well at least get a CAI. I reccomend oyu do an exhaust and CAI then do the PCM tune.

ZZP has cranked out a lot more PCM's than Milzy has for the 3800 market. Plus, ZZP ships VERY fast. All most all of my orders have been shipped to me the day after I ordered the part from them even though I opted for the cheapest shipping option.
A PCM isn't what I would start out with though, because if you continue to modify your car you will want to keep updating your PCM. If you can get your car on a dyno, and have it tuned there, that would be ideal. Dyno tuning helps your specific vehicle instead of just getting a generic PCM that will kind of help your performance.

Do all your other mods that you want to do before you get a retuned PCM, it saves you a lot of hassle :P

Wooops. Alright then, yeah thats good. I didnt know he made them for the 3800.
But I would go with ZZP if they have one, they ship very fast and milzy uhhhh, doesnt. I took me a little over 2 weeks to get my PCM from milzy. But then again, I think there is somthing milzy does that ZZP doesnt. I dont know where I heard that but I heard it somwhere.

lol, yes- you need a totally different pcm tune for your 3400. A pcm tuned for a 3800 will not work on a 3400.
