Also, How would I begin to "tune my PCM" ? Is this something I can just ask my mechianic to do or where would I go to start this?

Thank you for all your help!!
You can use the box for all 2006 - 2007 models for CAI.

The same intake for a 3.5 motor in a 2006-07 Monte carlo, is the same one as as a 3600 or a 5.3. the 3.5 is basically the same motor as the LT,LTZ. Just different HP gains, but same intake. And even the same intake "box" as the SS. The only difference is the engine itself, and not the air box/connections. I'll take a picture of mine later if you want. But you can purchase the same and use the same. ^_^;

There Is not a big mod market for the 3500. When it comes to a cold air intake Since all of our cars are W body frame the only issue is connecting the box to the UIM. If your handy with some tools and get some intake tubing its vary possible to do. I am Currently looking for someone who can tune pcm's up here but I dont know if anyone has dedicated themselves to tuning the 3500

So it sounds like there is not much I can do to TUne my PCM then ?
If you have any luck finding someone who can do that I would greatly appreciate it.

Currently This one is more work than I want to do but here is a tuner

Crusader SS has one of these tunes in his 3800 so im sure he could tell you more about it.

Also were trying to start a washington Monte Carlo MC. BBlackstone is the front man but were trying to organize it after the holidays. You should look into it. We all love seeing more monte's.
