Default Need PCM asap...

Well last thursday I tried to get my car tuned by Andrew at CSP but he found out that my PCM was locked by Harris Speedworks when they installed my cam. I figured they could unlock it but they will not answer the phone or e-mail. I have left 3 voicemails with no return phonecall. Anyone know if they still carry daytime hours? Anyway the SS needs to be tuned so I am trying to find a PCM that will work for my 02 Camaro LS1 M6.

Ask a dealers to flash it back to stock that will unlock it. I can get a PCM new pcm for like $150ish last time I got one. Just has a $200 core for the old one back

I have not given up hope yet, Just gotta have it done by friday so i am getting some options. I didnt know the dealer flash would unlock it. That would be a last resort as i would then have to trailer it to PA. I am not driving a untuned cammed car that far.

Dealer flash will unlock the PCM we have done it bunches of times back in the day when cars came from different shops for tunes.

I do have a brand new pcm in the box i will sell for $200+ shipping but I believe it would need to have your information flashed into it for it to work (vin# etc) check with your tuner if he knows what to do with it and ya want it PM me.
