pcmforless - My experience so far
Two weeks ago I bought a 96 LT1 with 109,000 miles on it.
It's in great shape and it's always been my dream to own a vette.
After reading a lot online about having your vette tuned I decided to try pcmforless.com, as I wanted the quicker shift points and my car had a slight hesitation at very low speeds.
I received the tuned pcm yesterday, and threw it in (very easy) this morning before my drive to work.
The car definitely shifts quicker/smoother now, and I feel like I can get up to speed with less throttle than before, so maybe more horsepower also.
The hesitation is almost completely gone, it's barely noticeable now, you actually kind of have to go out of your way to make it happen. (You have to drive at about 2 mph, and barely touch the throttle.)
Anyway, so far so good, it was well worth the money and Bryan was very quick to answer questions and get the new pcm out to me.

Unfortunately the hesitation at very low speeds, very little throttle, is back. Maybe not as pronounced as it was, but still disappointing. I have noticed that the SYS light flashes, I used my OBDII scanner and found no codes. Could my battery be going bad? FYI the SYS light was flashing before pcm replacement also.
