Default Ported throttle body results

put my New era ported throttle body on today it did not throw any codes power seems better below 2 grand and above three notable improvement from 60-75 probably even better at higher speeds.

I am running totally stock intake with it i think gains would improve with a K&N
only complaint is a whistle from 2000 to 2500 rpm i dont think it is a vaccum leak betweenthe tb and mani but it is possible i didnt oil the back of the tb at all before i installed

There was a post in the other thread by the fasterproms(sp?) guy about what parameters to change in the PCM to avoid getting the code.

Yup I'm with you on the warranty, that's why I'm not modding the car any more than the cutout. I'm going to start commuting further for school in the fall so I need this to be reliable.

Why not buy a second PCM? I've seen E67 pcm's for sale for ~$150 online. Swap stock one back in when needing to go in for service.
