It's the core charge. You get a refund once you send your old one back. If you want to keep your old one, then you have to pay for the PCM from Will and he adds it to the cost.

And you aren't better off getting a diablo or predator, because one, they don't work with 2007 and 2, they don't let you adjust as much as Will can adjust in his tunes.

Believe me, it's worth the money for a tuned PCM from Overkill- The programmers are not near as good. I have an Overkill PCM, and I can say it was worth every penny!

He has them for all different engines.

The quality of the tunes are just better from Will at Overkill.

Not all companies use the same methods of tuning and you won't get the same results from different companies either. ZZP doesn't seem to put as much time into making sure their tunes are correct. There's been lots of issues with people's ZZP tunes not working correctly and not being able to get through the security relearn.

I have heard nothing but awesome things about Will's tunes and he will be my next upgrade from my Milzy tune, that is absolutely horrible.

Examples of what makes my tune horrible..

-I get horrible gas mileage if I go anything over 3k rpms, dumping too much fuel
-My car will not downshift of of 2nd at a stop light unless I sit there for more than 10 seconds.
-If I'm going more than 35 miles an hour and try to accelerate, the lowest it will drop to is 2nd gear, usually stays in 3rd... (at 30 it'll drop to 1st)

Those are just a few examples of what I have run into with my tune.

You'll love the results from Will's tune
