It's a crapshoot, sometimes you need a relearn and sometimes you don't. Mine was plug and play fine.

Im slightly confused, do you have mods? If you do, the ZZP is a decent BASE tune to get you by safely until you can get it dyno or HPTuned. Thats what i have now and its not bad, conservative and safe.

PCM is plug and play, you may have to get a relearn. Mine actually have never thrown a code for a relearn, just a misfire...which appears to be normal. My buddies ZZP can tuned car also throws that code...

plug and play. just have a person in the area do a case learn. im sure someone will do it for cheap because its on the scan side of the hp tuner so doesnt cost them anything.

Get a "stage" kit and don't regret getting a lame PCM.

You wont feel a difference w/ just a PCM, you need to get staged, then dyno tuned to optimize your car. A can tune is just that...something canned...generic. Doesnt taste as good as something made fresh (dyno tune)
