I purchased my overkill pcm 2 weeks ago on wednesday, i sent will an email of when i would recieve my pcm, he said he would tune it last week tuesday and send it out, i have yet to recieve it and i have yet to recieve any shipping information, like he said he would send me. Does anyone know how to get a hold of will at overkill, because im starting to get irritated, i just want my PCM..

^but you got the PCM eventually. That's the important thing. Only complaint ive ever heard about Will's tuning is that it takes time. I know it sucks, but if you dont mind waiting it is well worth it in the end. He won't rip you off man, no worries. you gotta remember, in between working on tuning PCMs and answering e-mails he has a life, other obligations, bills to pay, etc. Hell he may even have a family, I dont know him personally....but what I do know is that he always comes through and leaves his customers happy. so cheer up, you'll get yo shit :mrgreen:

Absolutely, and I love his tune. It changed the entire feel of the car and I have nothing but good to say about it. It just sucks though when someone wont return an email and I mean he is running a business... But like I said his tunes are amazing, well worth the wait. I just hope he can do a retune for me... eventually.

Hate to bring it up but for the sake of being through I will. I had Will tune me a mail order PCM and the car would shift funny. It would shift at 5500 or so at WOT not the 6200 I asked for. Find out later the tune was setup for the incorrect gearing. I believe it was set for 3.29, not the 3.08's in the GT. After the wait in the first place I just shelf'd it and went back to my regular vendor.

^yeah, after all the waiting if he didn't get it right the first time im not so sure i would bother with it again. Im sure he would have a lot more business, and repeat customers, if he could spped up the process in any way. Ive always believed though, like most of us 04+ GP owners, that there is NO substitute for being able to tune the vehicle yourself with a tuner and tuning software such as HPTuners. A tune that works well in one part of the country, or certain weather, a particular elevation, etc... may not work as well in different environmental conditions or in a different part of the country. So it's always best to be able to make adjustments in real time, on the spot. And having to wait another 2-6 weeks for a mail order tune is a pain in the ass, especially if all you want is a re-tune after adding a few new mods or dropping a pulley size. Then again, not all of us have $400+ to spend on a HPTuners tuning kit

I agree with custom tuning the car, and buying the tuner wouldn't be a problem. Problem lies with me not knowing where to start with tuning and not really having much time for it. I almost feel like I would end up treating my car like a guinea pig and KAAAABOOM

yeah same here Vic, I have a local guy who tunes my GP for me when he has time but Im not about to mess with anything myself....too easy to make expensive mistakes. And the 04+ GPs are a lot more sensitive/finicky about tuning from what Ive been told
