    Got my intake, hv3, plog, and downpipe done..

    But since Im unable to tune my car as of now (Read my post in Will's "breakthrough" thread in the Tuning forum), aside from maybe rockers, it seems Im done.

    Am I wrong? I cant find anything else to mod with a stock tune. I cant even topswap or turbo... no cam, no ported tb, even the rockers I think would be wasted without tuning.

    Just to think if my car was built a few months earlier it all would've been cool.
    Sucks.

    Can you not just get an older PCM and live with the backwards gas gauge? Sometimes you gotta pay to play. I'd live with a backwards gas gauge to net the gains from a tune, maybe its just me.

    That's not the case, there's something fundamentally different with the AC Delco pcm's vs the Delphi pcm's from 08 that they arent interchangable.

    Will swapped out an AC Delco pcm into his 04 and it wouldnt start it, he's working on figuring it out now, but it's a big maybe.

    Trust me if it were possible I'd buy an 05 pcm and live with the gas gauge in a heartbeat

    i know it would be crazy expensive but is there a way to pull the PCM, BCM, and interior gauges and harnesses to a different year....
