was wondering how people like there cobalt addiction pcm stage kits or how they like ther zzp stage kits? or should i just stick with stage 2 gm and go from there? there is a rebel kit also but i dont a hp tuners around locally so it will cost me a buttload to just get to his shop.

thanks

no one is using the cobalt addition pcm or the zzp pcm?

 

canned tunes are horrible bro, pay a little extra and get the job done right.

 

i have a zzp pcm in my car as we speak and i havent had one problem with it i called and told them the exact parts i have and they tuned it there three days later a new pcm arrived on my step plugged it in and bammmm it was a whole new animal plus you get the core charge back soooo if you dont have som1 locally like me try it the worst that will happen is the pcm is already unlocked and you can have som1 fine tune it

 

i didnt have any probs with my zzp, and it was way better than stage 2

just cause of this alone...

i had the zzp and it was an improvment over stage 2 and my car ran great except for my idle. i had my balt eventually dyno tuned and the zzp tune was not to great. my afr was like in low 11 and then at about 5500 rpm it was 10.0 very low it was running super rich. after the tune i got another 31 hp and way better gas milage. zzp, ca and other companies with canned tunes cover there asses by making them run rich just like stage 2 so you dont blow your motor. if you have access to get a dyno tune then that will always be better but if not canned is better than nothing i guess.

 

I have the cobalt addiction pcm and so far so good

 

I had an Intense PCM and it would start showing up to 7-10* of knock in 4th gear for no reason. I put my stage 2 back in with no problems and sent the PCM back for a refund.

4th gear, barely giving it any gas and it was knocking slowly and constantly. not in any other gear, and not with the Stage 2 pcm.

 

Here's your choices:
zzp
ca
intense
RAW

All seem to have problems. I've never had problems with the canned gm stage tune but apparently there are some who have. But if you're under warranty I'd say go with the gm tune...at least they'll fix it...somewhat.

 

I know the CA tune without buying the stage kit is $249... but thats with next day shipping right back included.. if your in florida go see Werewolf ss... hes awesome to work with.
