Intense vs Overkill PCMs

I'm gearing up to start ripping into my GTP this weekend, so I'm curious what the best PCM I can get (short of a dyno tune) is.

Any thoughts?
 


To be honest save up some money and go the best route. I've learned my lesson about not doing it right the first time
 
Uh.. I need this car to be roadworthy, and soon.

So lemme put it this way: a guy walks up to you and puts a gun up to your head and says: "I NEED THIS PCM TUNED, OVERKILL OR INTENSE?" If you choose neither of these, he will shoot you in the head.

What's your answer?
 


Yeah, but I've heard that Overkill does way better work. Not to mention their prices are cheaper.

I wish there was someone in here who has driven the work of both.

Hahah oh, we'll since you put it that way.. Lol naw, I have an overkill pcm, just got it a couple weeks ago and I like it a lot. Idk what mods you're going for or have but check in my sig and I get almost no kr at all..it really woke my car up and the shifts are so much better..unfortunately I haven't had intense before. But it took will about 2 weeks to get me mine..and he thought he shipped mine but he didn't. Then I emailed him and he shipped it n I got it two days later. Also just had to do a key relearn n that was it.
 
Overkill tunes are great. I got mine tuned for a basic 3.4 pulley, porter blower, open cone, headers. The only knock I see is about .3-.9* at the very top of 1st around 6200rpm.

I've not seen the scans for an intense PCM, but I have ridden in a very similar setup car, with the Intense tune, and it felt just as strong.


IMO Overkill. Will is a great guy, though he stays swamped. Turn around time might be a few weeks, but it's worth it.

A bullet.

But seriously, DHP. It's slightly more expensive, but worth it, and it's resale value is exactly what you paid for it. Not the tune, the tuner.
 


I've run a DHP, ZZP, and Intense. All performed to my expectations. Pick one and order it. They are essentially all the same as far as tweaks go.
