yup, you can either get a mail order and he'll send you the pcm or you can do what I did, I drove yesterday and came back the same day... its only about a 2.5-3hr drive and well worth it!!

Has anyone tried a ZO6 cam. I've heard some good things about them. Dyno slips to the tune if 32 hp and 15 lbs. of torque, plus the 118 degree lobe seperation and the heavily favored Exhaust valve make it an excellent NO2 camshaft.
