So which one do you think is better in terms of canned tune?

I honestly have no idea about Overkill's PCM's, but I've been getting my PCM tuned many times since 2006 by ZZP and everytime the tune has been great.

I've heard that Overkill is about the best way to go, that's where i'm going for my next tune.

I would not go back to zzp for a canned tune. If I ever got another canned tune, I would try someone else.

Where do you live?

Will (overkill) lives in Canada and can be a little slow on some things.

I've heard good things about overkill, but I prefer tuning things myself as opposed to canned tunes. That's just me and while I don't have access to a dyno to use when I tune, I generally start with a basic tune and then record data with my laptop to make appropriate corrections after that drive.

That being said, if I were to get a canned tune I would likely go with overkill.

im in canada, sent will an email, hopefully he gets back to me ASAP cause i'd want this by next Friday.

I wouldnt know where to start with tunning myself, and the car is pretty much stock, MAIN reason for this is getting rid of SES codes relating to having no cat (ordered a downpipe from ZZP) and will be removing the EGR as well.. and firmer shifts sounds nice

thanks for your imput!!

If you are close to Will, he will actually let you drive to him, and do an in-car tune.
