I have been searching in vain for PCM'* for Northstars, particularily my Aurora, now, I dont expect a bunch of Aurora/JET users to post :P but I do know we have a few JET guys with that PCM in their Bonnevilles.

Whats the story...worth the $203 USD...IIRC I have heard a mixed bag of reactions to JET.

What say you?!

Big thumbs up. My understanding for the N* PCM'* is nobody has made one yet. Nobody. I do understand though, that one company has extracted the code. Dyno work would be involved to create the first one. I'm betting you'll see a GXP PCM before an Aurora PCM, though.

Just a hunch (insider information)

Jim, that'* not a PCM. That'* a performance module. A bit of difference.

No, it'* effective, just not as good as a full-blown PCM like mine from Jet, or an Intense unit.

It goes in between somewhere in the harness, and you dial it in. Didn't stinky have one of these?

Honestly A custom PCM is the way to go IMO. There are some places online, where if the Name JET is mentioned you get flamed, especially if there are other options for your car.

Every engine is different, and your mods are different, so you should have your tuning tailored just to your car. Think of it like a set tuning for a carb and timing, applied to every car in every climate. Yes EFI systems do adjust, but there are so many things you can do, especially in OBD II. Fans after turn off, etc. I'd try to find an OBD II shop in the TO area.
