PCM/ECM reprogram

Tanked · May 26th, 2005, 08:53 PM

Guys,

My new cam is going to be on the lumpy side :wink: Has anyone done the PCM/ECM reprogram. I'd like some feed back. I want to hear the good and bad. West Coast Viper does the mod for $495.

I am looking at getting the fallowing:

Delete Cags (skip-shift)
Delete rear 02 errors
Change Fan On/Off temps
Add/Subract timing
Add/Subtract fuel
Evap DTC Delete <---what is this ?????

Why are you worried about Viper parts when you are looking at plowing land?

Clint....what are you talking about????

I dont think that the pcm programer at westcoast knows what he's doing as they keep coming in but not leaving the shop do some research before sending them anything

Fallowing. Gawd, I crack myself up.

Listen, RE:, the ECM mods: if you're doing a custom burn, then no one can really tell how your car will respond to it unless they've done the same burn. I have no experience with WCV and can give no feedback.

I will say that if you're using the Mopar Performance Parts ECU, there's some things that you should have on your car before you swap because it will acutally hamper your car's performance rather than improve it.

Everything on that list is an improvement, depending on your tune (add/subtract fuel/air). The EVAP DTC delete is the Evaporative Emission Diagnostic Trouble Code delete; I'm assuming it has something to do with removal of the cats and quelling a code you may throw as a result.

Sorry I can't be of more specific help.

BTW Clint...I Love that quote.

I will, however now isn't the time. I'm already $9,500 into my engine rebuild.

Tanked, I found out the cam specs today, and you're not going to have an idle problem with it. It's big enough to be heard in the exhaust, but not enough to cause a low vacuum issue.

viper spray · May 26th, 2005, 10:46 PM

PM me , if you want it.

i wont step on spray's sale but if someone needs another one after he sells his. i got a 98 for the same price.

Tanked · May 27th, 2005, 10:59 AM

Spray, that's a great offer! But I think I'll pass...for now. I want to get this thing to the dyno before I go with a VecII/Split sec or Reprogram ECU.

I should be at the dyno on July 4th.
