well most people buy it to get past their stock pcm...but lblackneon has that AFX race pcm so its almost a waste for you....the only gain I see from you getting MS is every time you get a new mod or bigger injectors OR WHATEVER you won't have to keep getting that race pcm reprogrammed because you would do it yourself with megasquirt...but megasquirt is a hassle and you already have the race pcm so if I were you I would get the MSD ignition system and then have your race pcm reflashed.

If my fuel pump is fine, I don't want to waste any money on another one if I don't need to. I'd rather get a nice mod. The AFX race pcm supposedly can adapt to new modifications. I'm going to replace my cam sensor soon. That's the only code my computer is sending as far as the check engine light. Hopefully that'll make my car start right up but I doubt it.

It might if your lucky...that PCM can adjust?!?!?!?!? adapt to new modifications??? you dont need to get it reprogrammed or reflashed?!?!? how much did that cost ya?? oh, and as for the fuel pump...just seemed like all the money youve had to dish out for your other mods the $100 fuel pump wouldnt be much but you are right it is not Necessary

That's what the website says.
I know it doesn't read one or all of the o2 sensors b/c it's not throwing a code for the exhaust.
The pcm was expensive. 390 for it plus 150 dollar core charge. I didn't send mine back so it was around 540.

now is there a cable that connects your computer to your OBDII port? if so where can i get one....? and if there is one, can i use it to copy the Data on there... if i can then i found some people that can reprogram any ECU/PCM, all they need is the ROM from it and they can reflash it... so does anyone know where i can get one of the cables?

are you talking about the port that is right by your feet, and it is illegal to mess with te stock computers, just if you care or something.

how is it illegal? its only illegal if you change the emssions so that they are illegal...... for example my friend has a WRX and he just plugs a cable into the OBD II port down by your feet and changes timing, A/F ratios etc... and its only illegal if you end up throwing an emissions code or w/e..... but other than that i have never heard that it is illegal..

Its not illegal to mess with the PCM...the only things that are "illegal" are either changin your emmissions system (which only matters in states where its enforced) and/or breaking the copyright laws DCx has over the PCM computer code. You can alter, add, modify the code since you own the rights to that computer, hoewever, you couldnt take that adjusted (or stock) computer code and sell it or give it away because it would be against copyright protection laws.
