In the future, please edit your first post instead of posting twice in a row to keep things cleaner.

Get their standard PCM and if you're serious about rockers get the 6k shift point.

Stock idle, 180* T-stat settings, stock timing, no need to disable DTC'* unless your planning on a high flow cat (probably won't have rear O2 capability). In that case, get the rear O2 disabled.

Yup, I agree with dillcc.

That is pretty much exactly what I got on my PCM ( for the '03 ) and am very happy with the results. I did eliminate the rear O2 DTC'* because I also installed a hi flow cat and didn't want any trouble with it

It shouldn't as long as you keep the Cat on. The rear O2 sensor is only there to diagnose the effectiveness of your Cat.

If you have a VISUAL inspection and your wire to your rear O2 is missing it might throw up a flag, but I guess you could somehow attach it to the cat to make it LOOK like it'* still there...I dunno

That brings up another question though. If you have disabled DTC'* will the emission OBD2 scanning computer pick up that they're disabled or will it think everything is normal??

I'm in the same boat as you then. I got my car passed right before I had a bunch of DTC'* disabled for my SSEi'* buildup. I'm curious to hear if anyone else has passed a computer scanned test with disabled DTC'*.

I'm fairly sure the emissions test looks for any codes and if none are found all is well.

I have a rear O2 and 3" high flow cat. My pcm is happy and hasn't had one complaint about the
Camshaft
Gen V blower
Larger injectors
Headers
3" high flow cat.

My rear O2 serves a purpose, to monitor the exhaust and tell me if my front O2 or catalytic are bad. I'd like to know if my cat goes bad and starts plugging up before it becomes an issue.

The only DTC'* disabled on my setup is the mutliple misfire code, since the cam will set an MIL from it. With the tuner I have..I can disable any codes or turn off the EGR etc. For the purposes that these parts serve, they work well.

Why disable DTC'* that might help some diagnosis in the future?
