sounds like what I want to do, put a SVT PCM into my SE but for that to happen the keys need to be programmed so that it can be used, so the dealer needs to do it or you need the keys from the car the pcm comes from



I guess I'm not seeing the advantage of this. The only advantage I can see, is if you're leaving the SVT PCM completely stock. Even then, that's a hack way of tuning. If you want an aggressive tune, do it right and buy the Xcal2 and/or Pro Racer Package. You have access to all of the same perameters on the SE PCM as you do with the SVT PCM.

well I am looking at it two fold, after seeing Dom's gains with the SVT PCM over the SE one that has me interested, seems the program is better. Two I have a complete LIM/UIM/TB I am goign to bolt on, with the PCM I will not have to tune for those items and I can later on get a Xcal2 say when I get headers if and when that will be



Just seems like a lot of unnecessary money going into it. How much is the dealer going to charge you to program your keys? How much are you picking up the SVT PCM for? For well under $400, you could have an Xcal2 tune with 3 programs, that will run an optimum A/F and timing advance, without having to program your keys. The SVT PCM is always going to run rich, unless you try and fool it with SE 17# injectors, which again, is a hackjob of a tune. There's no question that the SVT PCM is more aggressive, but it still needs a lot of work to be optimum.
