Does PCMFORLESS offer refunds?

Written by PCMforless.com
Due to the nature of our business we do not issue refunds. It is simliar to buying an Audio CD at your local music shop. We are custom building programs specifically for your needs. We do however take great pride in our work and it is a pleasure to help you achieve a excellent running car. Things you can do to help us make our tune better is to provide datalogs, scanner readings, dyno sheets, or just a really helpful description of the problems. With our experience we can also help diagnose other problems which may be interfering with the tuning.

I've got a '96 or '97 car that is OBD2. Which performance tuning package should I buy?

Written by PCMforless.com
If you are looking for the all out most power, the OBD1 conversions will yield 5-7 horsepower more than a programmed OBD2 PCM. The OBD1 also has free diagnostic software available and the updates are free. BUT, some states are now looking into plugging in to your OBD2 car and checking for a properly functioning OBD2 PCM with NO codes. The OBD1 conversion PCM will fail this test. You could swap your original PCM back in to pass the test, but some prefer to just reprogram and OBD2 PCM.

What can you do for my car?

Written by PCMforless.com
What we can do for your car will vary depending on year and model, but overall what we strive for is better power, better drivability, and better fuel mileage. We do this by adjusting things such as timing, air/fuel, power enrichment, etc. We can also help with torque management, removing the speed limiter, raising the rev limiter, accounting for any modifications you may have, help with the idle, disable VATS, etc. Between both offices at PCMForless, we have seen just about every combination on every GM vehicle!

Where did you learn to program these vehicles?

Written by PCMforless.com
I began programming on my personal vehicles a '94 Impala SS with a 396ci stroker motor (4200lbs and runs 12 flat). I have since aquired a 2000 Corvette and installed a 224 cam as well as a 2004 Silverado SS that we have installed a small cam in as well and it is running 13.8 in the 1/4. Through many hours of testing with these vehicles as well as many customer cars on the dyno I have learned what changes are effective. - Bryan I worked with a Chevrolet Dealership where I met some extremely gifted GM techs who race themselves. After spending hours reading GM service manuals, sharing knowledge with the techs, and playing with GM's Tech 2 scan tool I became inspired to tune my own car. Eventually I began tuning other cars and trucks and have really become quite successful. - Alvin

Why is your programming so inexpensive?

Written by PCMforless.com
Low overhead costs and efficient business practices allow us to offer our programming at a great price to you. We are doing the same things (and even more in many cases) as the others and making the same gains (or better) but try to keep our prices reasonable. We have found by doing more in volume we can strengthen our library of tuning files so even an exotic parts combination is something we have worked with before.

Why should I add a 160 degree thermostat and LT-4 knock module?

Written by PCMforless.com
The 160 degree thermostat will run the engine cooler and will help eliminate any knocks and pings that can be associated with higher engine temperatures. The LT-4 knock module assists the PCM in eliminating false knock that is picked up from noise in the engine area that is not knock. Things such as after-market ignitions, loud exhaust, roller rockers, misadjusted rockers, wear in the valvetrain, etc... can cause false knock due to their noise. This causes timing retard and robs you of horsepower! Many Impala club members have seen 4-10 horsepower gains depending on how much false knock they were getting.

With your new service how can I load the software into my own PCM?

Written by PCMforless.com
Go to http://www.akmcables.com/ and purchase one of his OBD1 cables for $90. I will then send you your program for $50 and the software to load it into your PCM. There are four great benefits of this service.
  • I can email you updates of your program if you make changes to your car and you can load them yourself.
  • No waiting for an available exchange PCM. I can email you the program and you can load it the same night.
  • Free diagnostic software. You will find links to lots of free scanning diagnostic software that is compatible with this cable at his website and you can read your own codes and monitor your car's performance.
  • No shipping costs for the PCM. Sorry available for 1994 and 1995 OBD1 vehicles only The only requirements for this service is that you have a computer that you can load the software with. Any pentium class or higher machine with an available serial port will do this. You can even use your desktop machine if you can get it close enough to your car. We are also offering email tunes to customers that own their own copies of LT1 edit, Tunercat, LS1 edit, or HPTUNERS software. We can build you a great starting file for you to work with, or can work back and forth with data acquisition to help you fine tune your car/truck.
