RE: Where can I get PCM reflashed?
Woah, woah, woah, back up. First you need to tell us what mods and then what ecm.
If you just have a few simple bolt ons, e.g. blue plate, short ram, exhaust etc, the stage zero computer might just need a reboot by disconnecting the batt, but it should handle simple upgrades without needing to do more than that. Any more than that, and you have more serious issues that may require a "stage" computer or some stand alone systems. To my knowledge you cannot change the programming in the stock computer, you can only reboot it. It is only mildy mod tolerant as well. If you need a stage computer, you will indeed need to get it "flashed" with your vin or to my understanding, it will not even run. A stage computer can be flashed by a dealer (but some tell me they don't know how [b.s.]), flight sytems or I hear by anyone with a sophisticated enough OBD II scan tool though I know not of what tool this is by name. I might be smokin dope on that one.

If the SRT4 is anything like an EVO PCM the stock can be reflashed to add all upgrades. Currently though upgrades include NeedsWings 3' Cutout downpipe, EVO2 exhaust, Perrin CAI, Stage 2 Cams w/ springs and retainers, Walboro H/F Fuel pump, Perrin Fuel Rail, AGP Race FMIC w/ full 3' hardpipe kit, HKS BOV, Wideband 02 sensor, Hallman Boost controller. Coming soon : GT35R Turbo kit, 750cc injectors, Racing shortblock, AEM stand alone

How soon are you getting the AEM stand alone? That will take care of all of your mods....
As for the stock PCM, only thing you can do is reboot it, but I can't say how well it would handle all your mods. That is quite a list to still be on the stock PCM....

RE: Where can I get PCM reflashed?
Thats why I havent put all of them on. I know if I put all of them on the PCM would **** itself and dump too much fuel not enough air and all kinds of stuff. And I know for a fact the stock EVO PCM can just be reflashed w/ all mods. The stand alone wont be in untill my tax return next year. So it aint gonna be in the real near future. Should I just do the Stage 2 and run that till I get the stand alone?
