RE: And my PCM is on it's way back to me!!
I'm going to fork out the extra cash for transport.....at this rate it's going to take 36 days before I get the tuned PCM in my truck[

and 48 days with the return of the loaner
Got to love CUSTOMS........they probably think it's part of a nuclear bomb or something

I got my PCM back today!! I installed it and took it for a little test drive. I must admit that I didn't really notice a whole lot of difference. I wasn't really blown away like a lot of you guys claim. Hopefully it will be worth a little bit extra mileage?? The acceleration and driveability all felt similar to pre-programming. I ordered #2 for the tranny shifting and it feels a little better, but not by much. Maybe I was expecting too much?

Kelly probably forgot to program yours
Just kidding. Really, you didn't notice a difference? I know we hype it up a lot but I noticed a big difference, especially when at highway speeds and trying to pass. Do you also have intake and exhaust mods?

RE: And my PCM is on it's way back to me!!
Sorry to hear that you’re disappointed. The upgrade on my Alpha made a big difference. It’s much more responsive and shifts much better.
Let me try to explain how it feels. I had a Ford Powerstroke with a 6 position chip in it. I could turn the dial and feel the HP increase each time I turned the dial. It was like night & day. That is exactly how this upgrade feels, like night & day.
No offence but I’ve driven my brother-in-laws I5 H3 and thought is was underpowered . The Alpha was better with the V8 but now it grabs me by the seat of my pants. It’s just so much more fun to drive. I have a custom dual exhaust which helps and I'm waiting for a hi-flow air intake to become available.
I haven't opened it up yet to see what it will do but when the local race track opens I'll test it to see how it does in the 1/8th mile.

I am not naive enough to think that the PCMforless tune would make that much of a difference on an H3. I am just saying that I don't really feel a SOTP difference. Like I said......Maybe I need some more seat time to feel it. Hopefully better MPG's.

As far as my Alpha is concerned, when I spoke to Kelly about what I wanted she asked me if I wanted the “limiter” removed and I said yes. I wasn’t really looking for “top speed” but just better all around performance and when I tell you this is unbelievable I mean it!

Just got my PCM back from pcmforless , and let me tell you,, haha,,
Seriously I notice a big difference. I do have the K&N CAI and Gibson exhaust, and I think the tune helps with that, and the shifts are real quick, its great. I can't believe i waited this long.

I think PCMforless was one of the best bang for the buck mods I have ever done. Made my H3 much more driver fun friendly. Here is a chance to do it and save a few bucks. KUDOS Kelly and PCMforless!

I got tired of waiting. I did the PCM tune about a month ago. It is certainly a noticeable improvement.
Well worth the money in my book. I got lucky and didn't even have to do the security relearn on the loaner or my new tune.
At the group buy rate it is a bargain!

Got my PCM back from PCM for Less and the tune is great! Faster, smoother shifts and it stays a bit higher on the powerband before shifting. Makes the H3 an even more pleasurable drive. Thanks for the group buy Kelly!

RE: And my PCM is on it's way back to me!!
I am happy for you. And I know that almost everyone else has felt a huge improvement with their tune. That is why I did it. Hopefully, as I said, I will be able to feel it with a little more seat time.
