    So I am not so sure I got a great deal from pcmforless.com in december. I have tried to go above 120 only once or twice.. to dangerous on most occasions but i still feel a governer kick in. also the guy put regular in my accident and this is the first time since the tune, and car doesn't seem to run any different since got a premium only in my tune as well... I think I got screwed... I never dyno'ed before the tune so there is no way to tell otherwise if I got any gains... suck!

    sometimes it is hard to tell a 10hp increase other than dyno or track

      Did the car feel any different once u put the new pcm in or did it feel the same?

        kinda felt the same but the idle was actually a little smoother. The main reason I did it was a cat delete and to get a little better power. like he said the only thing I coulda done is a dyno and I will never know now cause I don't have the old ecu

          is your car stick or auto? if auto im guessing you didnt have them firm up your shifts?

              you can't tune the PCM to firm up shifts in a manual car

                kinda dum question but...what exactly does it mean when they say firm up the shifts?...like they got three options i think there firmer, firmest shifts, or quick shifts...My guess is the firmer it shifts the higher into the redline rpm band it goes...firmest shift would be around 5800 through all 4 gears?

                  they can change the auto settings in the computer to add my line pressure and shorten the shift times up and make the shifts firmer and quicker for you
