thanks man. but are there no cheaper ones. they all seem really spendy? and am i going to want to do more to my car before spending my money on a new pcm or is it going to make a difference when all i have done is plugs, wires, dual exhaust and a soon to be cold air filter?

I checked back on some of your previous listings and I noticed that you drive an automatic, the one I had listed was for a manual. Please note all relevant info in your requests, it makes it easier to receive advice.

the PCM that I listed requires that you send your current PCM to Howell, they reprogram it and they send it back. Also, performance PCM's will fail emissions tests. If you live in a state where emissions tests are mandatory, then you're hooped. Luckily, I live in Canada and we keep all the fresh air for ourselves

Also, another note on this PCM is that your car will require premium gas, so you have to consider that cost as well.

An upgraded Cam requires premium gas as well, so I'd personally do those both at the same time.

The new link for the PCM that fits your car is Here

I've also updated the link above to reflect the change

What year is the car? Because that will make a difference. There are no pcm upgrade for the 03-05 neons. I thought I read something on ********** that there is one in development.

*EDIT* Please do not link other forums on DF, Thanks

If you order a PCM from Howell, don't expect to receive it quick at all. I ordered my Race PCM from them and they said it would be 4-6 weeks and I'm going on 2 months now. I'm really anxious to get it[sm=bounceybounce.gif]; I'm disappointed it's taking so long.
