OK I'm going to get the DHP PCM after my vacation and they come with "falsh guard"
If my SES light comes on and it's reset, does that change the PCM back to stock? :unsure:

who told you they come with a "flash guard"
that is incorrect.
if your going to get a PCM, just buy the Powertuner. they DO support the alero and YOU control how your car drives. and you get to choose TWO years and makes of ANY GM v6 OBD2 cars
so if your buddy wants one and he has a Grand Am, you can get the Powertuner setup for your Alero and your buddies Grand Am and then you both can split the cost.
i dont know what i would do if i didnt have my Powertuner

They do have flash guard but you pay extra for it and I think its only good once and you should not have to worry about this unless you take it to the dealership and they reflash it But other wise your good to go. :thumbsup:

All the guys I know with DHP's for their 3800's love them and had good reductions at the track.
I know one guy who already ordered his 3400 DHP for his Grand Am.....just waiting for them to make it for Ecotec and then goodbye governer!

How long did it take the dhp to figure out the shifts. I have heard they start out sloppy and then start to firm up after a while.

If a ses or svs light comes on and I go to the shop to get that code cleared, does that reset the PCM?

I clear my own, if you take it the dealer, you do take a chance on them reprogramming it back to factory or updating as per a PI campaign, but they would have to actually reprogram it, just erasing the ses codes won't put it back to stock. DHP guaranteed me 1 reflash just incase that happened? are you still under warranty?

Good to hear, I mean, I have a mnual tranny, so I don't need to set my shift points, but getting rid of the top speed limiter, and being able to reprogram other parts of the engine would be great!

flash gaurd, i gotcha now. you mean that if the dealer were to rewrite the pcm then DHP would fix it once for you.
i thought you meant that they "locked" the pcm so it couldnt be coded over or read by the competion, which is incorrect and they do not do this.
just get the Powertuner. trust me, its worth it. it comes with a scan toll, and case learn feature, and you can program your PCM any way YOU want.
