Default Zzp pcm

Has anyone bought a ZZP PCM 1.0 ? If so how easy was the install and is it worth the 124 bucks as opposed to a 600$ Dyno Tune?

I believe the install is relatively easy, they will send you instructions, and it is just a connector that comes of the pcm that you will re attach to the new pcm.

They are a box tune and not designed for optimal performance, but will give you a definite improvement in your car, I highly recommend Will at getoverkilled.ca if you tell him all the mods you have done he can tune your pcm to what will give you the best, there are others that can do this as well, but I have dealt with Will personally and he treated me great so I highly recommend him.

To be honest, a dyno tune will give you the best performance you can get, pending the tuner knows his stuff as it will be tuned while in the vehicle and while under actual performance conditions, so they don't truly compare on the same level. A dyno tune will blow the zzp tune out of the water

You will either need the pcm from the 3500 or flash your pcm to the parameters of the 3500. From there you can change the flow tables and other stuff so that it gives you better performance, but you will need to have the motor running properly and that is where the 3500 pcm comes in to play, without it being done to the 3500 specs it won't run properly
