Default w4m installed. updated

I checked the tracking number and it said its here in the city. I should be getting it tomorrow. Next thing I want to get is headers. I'm getting pacesetter longtubes. I heard that the coating on them isn't very good so im not gonna spend the extra 150 for it. I'll get them off of performancecenter.com for 265. It said it adds 7-9 hp and 8 tq., does this seem a little low?

With the pcm, Do I have to do anything like disconnect the battery? Or any kind of relearn process? thanks..

OK I just installed The wait4me pcm. It took 5 mins(ive never done it before) I started it up and it idled kinda rough for a minute, i took it for a drive and i stopped and mash the gas and it barely spun more than stock. I told him to remove 75 percent of it. I was kinda upset about, but then i thought, it may take a day or 2 for this to get better?

does it take a some time for it to really work? It feels different and a little better. i hope to gain more over time tho.

he claims it gives u 30 hp, I doubt that, maybe 15ish. After i get a few more things done im giving wheatley a call. That tune i can't wait for. People say that they feel a difference right a way.
