I am not using the factory pcm any longer. I am running an ms3 evo so depending on who you talk to that is worse lol. jk.
I am running 7.7/7.8@180-181 1/4's and been 206mph with a gm 24x reluctor. Not the billet. Its been good to me for two years straight.
From personal experience the only time Ive had issues in the past was timing control with my previous 0411 at 7,500-8,000 rpm. I ran my car for 6 months up to 7,500 without issues. Id run it out to 7,8-8,000 and pop headgaskets within seconds. 25-26 psi and 15 degrees, 12 degrees, 10 degrees ... didnt like those rpms. That is the issues Ive seen. Rpm more than power with the factory gm units.

Was your previous OEM computer a 1998 ecm? Would you say the limit was 7500, 7700?
