I just got an email back from ZZP, who said that they can definitely tune my LeSabre's PCM but I'll have to send it in first, which would leave me without a car for some amount of time. To remedy this I found this on eBay: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I'll probably buy that and put it in my car, sending the computer that came with the car in to ZZP after verifying the eBay PCM works.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

ZZP also said that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! would work well on my car, as the front exhaust manifold is one of the most restrictive parts of the exhaust system, and combined with my high-flow muffler I'm installing and resonator delete should net me additional power and gas mileage. I'm also going to be wrapping the bit of the exhaust between the rear manifold and the front manifold, where it crosses directly underneath the throttle body so that I can shield it from the heat and lower my intake air temperature.

All things considered this might be good for a little bit of horse power, but I'm really hoping to net an additional 5mpg total (some say 3mpg increase from each of these mods, but I'm skeptical) which will satisfy my parents and make these mods worthwhile in their eyes.

Also props to ZZP for responding to my email within 4 hours. Pretty awesome customer service there. Now I just need to wait for my bitcoin to get unlocked so I can actually buy the PCM...

I'd need another $200 worth of supporting mods to actually use that, though. The L67 engines had a different... basically everything but the block. And I'd have to use premium fuel, and my goal here is power and efficiency. I'll definitely be switching to forced induction eventually, just not right now.
