    yes, you will need to step up to a 99+ PCM. the 98 PCM just doesn't have enough capacity to handle live tuning. there is some pinout changes or an entire wiring harness change. i'm not sure which.
    Cold Air Intake, Muffler Delete, Vinci High Performance Dual Valve Springs, Hardened Pushrods, Yella Terra 1.85 Rockers, Some Hydropdipped Stuff, Strut Tower Brace, Some SS Badges, boost/vacuum gauge, fuel pressure gauge, some checkered stripes, drilled/slotted rotors, ZL1addons Stealth wickerbill, Ruxifey LED side markers
