you should be able to have someone with Hp tuners or Dhp tune your car as long as your pcm isn't locked which it shouldnt be if its stock

| Joe - You don't need a different physical PCM, they are all the same. Most people just overwrite their factory programming with a tuner. You can also buy a spare and swap back and forth if you don't have access to a tuner. But in most cases that is not necessary. |

dont get me started on the mail order ones, they BARELY do anything to them. the fueling remains untouched.
when i had my 3.5 pulley setup i tried using a zzp file and intense file, my car couldnt even handle them at idle the car would just die |
