PCM From Motor Swap

Im thinking about buying a cammed motor with low miles from a 2000 SS Auto to go in my 2000 TA M6. So Ive read the new pcm will have to be flashed to a manual trans, but is that something thats costly or hard to do? I just dont want to have to have the car tuned for nothing, same mods done just has the cam dyno tune.

Thanks!

The pcm is the same m6 or a4. The easiest would be to read the tuned file and copy it into your m6 file and flash. The tune may still need some adjustment to be perfect though.

Yea thats what I figured. He had the same mods I do so it should be pretty spot on but a tune just for it would be nice.

I know this has been talked about before but if it takes a week or two to get to the tuner, would I be ok making some fuel adjustments and such on my predator? Im fairly competent with the handheld but know a dyno tunes the best. Just wondered if I could drive it any before its tuned as long as I was easy on it
