RE: What to do with stock PCM?

Well, when I first put it in my engine starting pinging when I gave it gas. Due to the 87 octane I was running. I had about 5/8 of a tank left so, I drove directly to the auto supply store and put in some octane boost to try and bring up my octane level. I then drove to the gas station and topped off with 94 octane. After that my D ran okay, but I wasn't too impressed. After driving about 50-60 miles or so my D really started to move (it took the new computer a while to learn my D). Now my D drives like a bat out of hell! The throttle response is improved. There is more noticeable power. I can bounce the RPM's off of the redline (5,500). I haven't tried top end yet. I'll let you know when I get there. Over all I would highly recommend it. For less than $300 and to add nearly 30 HP, I don't think it can be beat!

Chuck, describe how it feels with the new PCM or did I miss the e-mail.
Kick butt? No speed limiter? Higher RPM etc...
