Thanks again for all the great welcomes! ivtech, your car and mine could be twins except for the roof rails and the transmissions. Great to hear from you.

If so I'd really like to know how well it works for them and how much time it shaved of their 0 -60 times. Anyway, I guess that's all I have got for now. I'll post some pictures of the car once it warms up a bit.
Welcome to the site. There are many threads about this topic.

Mightymouse has the PPC Tuner and is very happy with it.

As for my recommendation, see signature.

Do your reasearch, and make the selection that is best for you.

PPC Pros:

*Ease of use for going between aftermarket and stock tunes.
*HRC is a great company and stands behind their product. A PPC tuned car with bolt-ons recently made something like 223whp on a FWD LNF.

PPC Cons:

*Price. The PPC is expensive. There are tunes of equal or better quality available for around 20% of the price if someone is local to you with HPT. If someone is not, you can buy HP Tuners and a quality tune and still be cheaper than the PPC. You then have the ability to tune your own vehicle and change from stock to aftermarket and back, provided you can use a computer.

*Flexibility. So far the PPC has been proven to play well with basic bolt-on modifications, but if you want to go farther than basics, you need to look at HPT. Also, HP Tuners can be used to modify the new stage kit tune for even more power.

Cliffs:

Get the PPC if:

*You're uncomfortable plugging a laptop into your PCM
*Care more about ease of use than absolute power
*Don't mind dropping alot of cash

Don't get the PPC if:

*You plan on heavy engine modifications
*You are concerned about eeking every possible horsepower out of every mod.
