Default PCM FOR LESS Review
While I took my sweet time doing the gas tank swap on my 96 LT4, I sent my cars brain box out to PCM FOR LESS for a performance tune and to have a few things shut off (VATS, Air Pump, Skip Shift). Also had the cooling fans programmed to come on earlier. Must say I am very impressed with the tune he gave me. I was able to break those 315's loose shifting into 3rd gear......hasn't done that before lol.

that's good to hear. I've been thinking of doing the same with my 96. Did you have to provide him a list of what to tweak, or he just knew to do the most common things? Ballpark price for his service? Many thanks

Based on my recent communication with them I’m not sure Alvin is around there anymore…
