Whats the difference (PCM CODE)

Ive read alot of threads on people who have bought chips and given their pcm code. When i bought my ts chip they didnt ask for my code, and was wondering what the difference would be. I assume this is to tune it to your computer, but would this give me anymore power? Should I have it re programed, or just run with it. Im satisfied with the power for now. I guess im just curious why the didnt ask for my code when i bought it. Thanks for the advice

Some PCM codes have different programming that does one thing better (or sometimes not) than another one. Many of the big tuners use the PCM code of your rig so that they know how much tweaking they need to do. Most use the PMT programming as a base line as far as I know.
If TS didn't ask for it don't worry about it. But be warned... if you send it to Tony Wildman for a re-burn you'll get even more power and have a bigger grin on your face!

It's $150 to reburn all 6 slots. Call the number on his site or email him. I think he's still dealing with a medical issue with his daughter, but either he or someone helping him out will get back with you. Here's his site:
