> Your PCM will be fine. Plus the canned stage 2 tune, IIRC, is done under the assumption of having an intake and exhaust on the car. Only reason I say this is I know the people that were having CEL issues with their intakes said the Stage 2 tune eliminated the issue. The stock PCM can handle quite a bit. I think my boyfriend’s running meth, 60# injectors, 2.6" pulley, with a +7000 RPM rev limit and it’s done just fine. Other people have been able to tweak it for NOS, cams, and turbo swaps, so stage 2 and an intake will be a cakewalk.

ya thats what im hoping. im taking it to the dealer tomm to have them run the diagnostic and make sure its just the tune, probly caused by the intake. so if thats all it is, ill just get the stage 2 rather than pay for a reflash of the stock tune. if its something else, then ill post it up in the thread and see what u guys can make of it. this has been a pain in the ass, but might end up cool if i get a stage 2 out of it. lol.
