Is there a gm ecm / pcm — programmed & ready to install shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?

Does California vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?

Can you load a performance tune instead?
This product ships factory calibration only. If you want a performance calibration afterward it is yours to do — the module is not locked against it. We also sell dedicated bench services such as DOD/AFM delete and speedometer recalibration if that is what you actually need.
What if I already bought a used ECM?
Then you do not need this product — mail us the unit you have and we will program it to your VIN as a bench service for less. Text us the service number and we will point you to the cheaper path.
