I installed the PCM this weekend. I bought it from a member for $315.00 shipped brand new.

It had to relearn everything. Oil life, mpg, the time, avg speed, you name it. I like the pcm a lot. The car runs very good and the top end power seems to have increased probably because i'm now getting a better afr. I'm at about an 11 now and I was at 10.2 with the other pcm. BTW i'm running Nate's 2.9" pulley.

The rev limiter and 100 octane activation is pretty cool.
I can't wait to mess with some race gas.

Guys have figured out how to keep the air conditioning so I had to order it. 100 octane tune, adjustable rev limiter, controlled 50 shot of nitrous. It doesn't come with the nitrous but I will have that in the spring with the bigger H/E.

I'll keep everyone informed on it.
Dry 50 shot comes in the spring.

Dry 50 shot nitrous kit $289.00

For now i'm going to mess around with the 100 octane tune. Check out the FAQs.

How do you adjust the rev limiter?

The rev limit is adjusted by pressing on the throttle pedal with the ignition on and engine off. At about 50% throttle the tachometer will show the current rev limit. Pressing the throttle further will adjust the rev limit in 250rpm increments.

How high can I set the rev limiter?

The Stage 3 PCM allows you to set the rev limiter up to 8000rpm. However, the engine will not reliably rev greater than 7000rpm without modification. If you would like to maintain a rev limit greater than 7000rpm, we recommend installing high-speed valve springs. Bates engineering offers high-speed valve springs that will fit in the stock head without modification. GM Performance Parts also offers a set of neutral balance shafts for high-rpm operation.

How do you change to 100octane mode? Can you change back?

With the ignition on and engine off, turn on the cruise control and hold the cruise set button for approximately 10 seconds. The shift light will illuminate to indicate 100 octane mode. Repeat this procedure to turn the 100 octane mode off. Note that the PCM defaults to 93 octane mode each time the ignition is switched off, so the process will need to be redone with each start-up.

What if you turn on the 100 octane mode when you do not have 100octane fuel in the tank?

The Stage 3 PCM will default to 93 octane mode when excessive knock is detected. If this happens, the shift light will turn off to indicate that 100 octane mode is off.

How does the Nitrous feature work?

A Nitrous system can be wired in so that the Stage 3 PCM provides the proper control scheme for a 50-shot of Nitrous when the Nitrous trigger is activated. The feature will only enable when the clutch is not depressed, throttle is at 90% or more, rpm is between 3500 and 500 below the rev limit, and no errors are detected.

What Nitrous kit does this work with?

The Stage 3 kit will work with any brand 50-shot Nitrous kit. It was designed around a dry system.

 

nice man. welcome to the nitrous club. i love my setup. you should have alot of fun with it. i still dont like th idea of a dry setup but oh well good luck. at least ur doing it right

 

Thank you sir. I'm not a huge fan of a dry setup either but that's all you can use with this pcm.
If the pcm detects any errors while spraying it will stop it.
Haha, I guess we'll find out. tbc...

 

nice. my balts about to go up for the winter next week. come spring time should be a whole new beast. doing the rksport body kit with lambos. got most of the interior done already. good luck with the nitrous setup

 

Sounds like you have a good plan skymynx.
I can't wait to see her when she is done. Good luck and thank you.

 

when your ready for nitrous hit me up. ill hook you up with a guy that can get you everything dirt cheap. i pay $4 a pound, most other shops are like 10-12 a pound.

 

Oh shnizap. Thank you. That will help a ton. It will be hooked up in either April or May.
Thanks again man, that will save me some moolah.

 

go dyno on 100 octane. with and without nitrous. please!

 

Correction, do a regular, a 100 octane, with nitrous, and without nitrous.

 

I can do that. I have a dyno shop 5 minutes from my house.

I'll do a base run, 100 octane run and a nitrous run.
I'm curious to see what numbers she puts down and if the 100 octane tune is all that aggressive.

Keep an eye out for those dynos in the spring.

 

cant disclose some of the other prices but when it comes to accessories i got your hook up.

 

badass!!!

 

Awsome thanks man. That will come in handy.

Thanks bro.

 

Welcome to the real Stage 3 Club!!!

 

Thank you sir. I hear very promising things about this setup. How is yours working out?
That 50 shot works wonders i'm sure performance and cooling.

 

are you using 42# injectors?

 

He has to, if he has 60s he is custom tuned, you can't custom tune the stage 3 pcm as of now.

 

Id love to see the numbers on the 100 octane tune and 100 octane w/ the 50shot.

 

Yes, the 42's.

Exactly. Hopefully by this spring or summer the ecm will be hackable......

You will in the spring. It will be dyno'd Sat May 17th, 3 pulls.

-Base run
-50 Shot run
-100 octane run

 

nice man how is it running?

 

Great. I can't wait to mess with the nitrous and I still haven't been able to get a jug of VP fuel.
I will when it warms up a little in the spring.

 

You dog... That will be awesome to see this may.

 

What up Bowtie, long time no chat with. How was the trip over seas?

I can't wait for May to come. It will be a good month. Muhaha

 

you will need to make another video for us ss.net *******

 

Yeah... Im seriously looking at Water/Meth injection... Im writing a shopping list already and i haven't finished installing the last bunch of parts...
