66KustomKat -> PCM TUNING (10/18/2007 11:06:09 PM)

Hey everyone.  Just a hot link for H3 owners in Southern California.  I have a 2006 H3/Adventure with Borla exhaust and K&N 77 series intake.  I had been researching PCM tuning for a few months and came across these guys www.z-industries.com.  I dealt directly with Andrew, great guy and extremely knowledgeable not only with the inline 5 banger in the H3 but with high performance engines in general ( he knows his ****).  Anyways, I live in Los Angeles and they are located in Temecula and he met me half way (pretty cool)and he showed up with his Tech2 tuner and laptop, plugged it right in and started tuning ( I was racing around @ 75 MPH in second at about 5800 RPM, needless to say we tuned it down but I am very happy with the tune and in conjunction with the exhaust and intake my H3 is considerably more responsive and faster, not to mention I can easily get it up to 100+ where as before I could never get it passed 85mph, not that I need the speed but I tow my motorcycles almost weekly and I know this tune is gonna give me more towing power.  Keep in mind that a lot of companies out there offering PCM tuning OUTSOURCE THE TUNE to other guys and what you get back is a generic tune that they sell to everyone.  Before I went with www.z-industries.com I was going to go with PCMFORLESS.COM as they are pretty sharp as well and obviously know there **** as well and as far as tuning goes they have a reputable name and they are very helpful.  But if you are the type of guy who wants to SEE exactly what your money is being spent on and you live in California and you want to get your H3 or any other American car tuned check out their website.

Cheers!

I think all of us have used with good results, PCMforless. They are also a forum vendor.

I have a good response from Billy Boat exhaust, K&N and PCMfor less tuned PCM....and not for a lot of $$$

I put my wheels off 'til spring.  I wanna drop the back a few inches also.  The PCM was a good investment imo.  I haven't been able to check my mileage but often the tune does improve it.[:)]

Let me show you one of this guy's prior posts. 
"Did you know that H3's depreciate approximately $10,000 their first year?
Think the bad gas mileage has anything to do with it?  Absolutely.
Enjoy."   from RE: WOW...what a MPG improvement!!!!

I emailed Kelly this morning to see about another possible group buy from PCMforLess for the newer members on here.  We'll see what happens.

Grant -> RE: PCM TUNING (10/19/2007 7:42:47 AM)

I'd definitely be interested in a group buy from PCMforLess, assuming that it'll work with an '08 H3.

I'm not "Hummer Guy", but "HummerGuy" 

Unfortunately there are two of us. The Hummer(space)Guy is the guy you are thinking of [:D]  I'm just some schmuck with a H3 from Chicago [;)]

Just hit 300 miles on a tank today with PCM and Volant exhaust, 35's Micky MTZ also.  Going to fill up tomorrow 50/50 highway city.  Will post tomorrow.

HummerGuy -> RE: PCM TUNING (10/19/2007 4:00:52 PM)

300 a tank, that's it? man you guys get really bad mileage [:D]

Am I the only one that gets 375 to 400 on a tank of gas?

Bennersj -> RE: PCM TUNING (10/20/2007 9:07:35 AM)

Thanks HummerGuy I was feeling pretty good about that.  Getting about 15.5mpg.  Thats not to good, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

GorillaH2 -> RE: PCM TUNING (10/20/2007 7:14:35 PM)

I thought H3's were supposed to fuel efficient
