You will need a timing retard unit for sure - or just buy a stock pcm and tune it the correct way with the SCT setup.

If you want to use the retard box it makes more sense to use the mopar pcm as your base tune for more timing in the NA operating regions, then just pull a bit more than you normally would in boost. Should have more torque out of the hole that way.

with SCT available, running a Perf. PCM with a Retard box and FMU is like going back in time. Almost going back to a carb.

Do yourself a huge favor and invest the extra money in SCT and just get a factory PCM.

You'll be glad you did.

I was under the impression you already had all the parts in question. Save your coin for a "real" SCT tune if you plan on keeping the boost below 14psi.
