The mods ive done are fwi,down pipe,mufflers and i have a new set of spark plugs autolite 104's and a 180 thermo ready to go in. what company should i look into? zzp,3800performance, or what else?
 


its hard to decide because I've read all mixed reviews. so maybe there was some one with the same/similar mods as my car.


I thought you had to go one colder after changing the thermo?
 
no, colder plugs are for when you are doing a 3.4 pulley setup or lower. The stat has nothing to do with that. For where your mods are I would just put in either the stock type plugs in or AL606's.
 


I havent installed either one yet. I have them ready tho. Well I was planning on buying a pulley since I know some on with the puller. Should I just get a modular pulley or a press on?
 
Thanks thats the one I will get. If everything is tightend properly there shouldnt be any wobbling right.
 
So far I have been very lucky with ZZP.
Good service and a big result for a canned, safe tune.
Almost a year an I aint blew it up yet!
Good enough for my basic L36 and its simple bolt on mods.
I read a lot about people having trouble with their PCM's but I think that was long ago and they have straightened it out.

granted I'm also a GT, had mine in for over 4 year, no probs...
 
i cant decide which PCM to go with. i'm sorta confused. i'm between this :: Overkill Motorsports :: and this PCM for Grand Prix GT v1.0: 3800 Performance. The one from 3800 performance makes it sound like you have to run premium gas and uh NO. lol
but yea, which one sounds better for a pretty much stock GT? i plan on putting on a FWI and maybe a Hv3 down the road.. fuel economy is high on my list :th_winking: also should i add any modifications to the PCM list?

Thanks!!

Nick I think you need to move it to the very beginning and make people read it when they sign up
 


i haven't gotten it yet. but it's a GT why run premium?

the only thing i'm wondering about getting another PCM is the box where you enter your mods. does it matter whether or not you have done your mods (i plan FWI, and possibly hv3 much later) yet when you get your tuned PCM? i'm really interested in the tuned PCM for the fuel economy and performance benefits.
