Easier and cheaper than a custom PCM program: Superchips ICON. I custom
program my own timing curve...when ever, and where ever I want. (Laptop
required). I can run 87, 89, and 92/93 octane fuel (different curves).
SpeedTweaks has them.

Subject: RE: DML: Powerdyne/ANY PCM
Well, I've ordered a PowerDyne and now I have to figure out what to do about
a PCM. I wanted a Mopar PCM, but I've been told they are no longer
available for the 98 5.2L 4x4's, bummer. Anyone have suggestions on a
custom flash? Who does them, how much, and what can I get modified (Shift
points, redline, top end cap, and tweaking the fuel management)? Looks like
I'll be getting an MSD ignition kit with timing retard as well, hopefully
that will help some. I also have a 50mm Flow Metric Throttle body on the
way to put on at the same time.
What should I do about the PCM???
Any ideas?

Jim,
Are you referring to Mark's truck? If so, his is an ATI Procharger kit sold
by
Golden West Performance. I believe it comes with or w/out the intercooler.
If
I'm not mistaken - Marks kit (w/blower, intercooler, custom-flashed PCM,
etc)
was in the area of $4-6K which is quite a bit more than the Powerdynes which
are
in the area of $2200-2400 I think. Considering that he had someone else do
the
labor as well - you could buy at least 3 Powerdyne setups w/what he dropped.
All are out of my price range (for now).
Latr,
Shane
