What is VCM Suite? VCM Suite is not your traditional handheld device or programmer - it is much more powerful. It is a comprehensive tuning tool for late model EFI (electronic fuel injection) controlled vehicles that was designed for everyone from the casual beginner to the advanced dyno tune shop or race team. It allows performance tuning and scanning (data logging) of the many parameters that control the operation of the engine and transmission. Whether your desire is to increase the fuel economy of your daily driver or take a twin turbo LS1 down the quarter mile in 9 seconds, VCM Suite is the tool you need to tune your vehicle. A typical late model vehicle uses computers to control all aspects of the engine (and in many cases the transmission) operation. Some examples of important parameters that VCM Suite can scan/log and change are: Ignition timing Fuel curve (Air Fuel Ratio) Fuel Injector sizes Mass Airflow sensor (MAF) Volumetric Efficiency Idle control Automatic transmission shift speeds Automatic transmission shift pressures What many people don't know is that your modern vehicle controller also includes various protection mechanisms designed to prevent abuse and premature component failure. These features are of little value in many applications. Some examples are: RPM limiters Speed limiters Torque reduction during transmission shifts Various engine and transmission "abuse" modes Electronic throttle (drive by wire) torque management Over boost protection Fuel octane learning Catalytic converter protection Various transmission torque limits VCM Suite gives you complete control over the various facets of performance tuning. In addition, it does not overlook the simple (and often forgotten) things such as changing cooling fan operation, recalibration of speedometer for final drive ratio changes, disabling of anti-theft systems for retro installs to name a few. Regardless of your application, VCM suite covers all the main parameters to tune your vehicle and remove any artificial "power robbers" that decide the 60 foot mark is where your 11 second pass should end.

Just as in the days of carbureted engines, knowing what to change is only half the story. Being able to accurately and conveniently record data that reflects the current state of your car's tune is paramount to any tuner's ability to extract that "extra little bit." VCM Suite includes comprehensive scanner capabilities that allow you to record important parameters while the engine is running. Important parameters such as RPM, spark advance, inlet air temperature, coolant temperature and more can be logged, saved and reviewed to determine how well the current tune is functioning. Add to this the ability to directly incorporate Wideband O2 (A/F ratio), Exhaust Gas Temperature and other sensor readings directly into the data stream via the optional Enhanced I/O (EIO) cable hardware and you have a complete tuning tool that will help you achieve optimum results at the track or on the street.
What is a VCM (Vehicle Control Module)?
In this context we use the term Vehicle Control Module (VCM) to mean the control module that is primarily responsible for engine and transmission operation. In some vehicles there are actually two modules: an Engine Control Module (ECM) and a Transmission Control Module (TCM). In general, the number of modules required to be read or written will be transparent to the end user or become obvious during the reading/writing process.
Generally, vehicles contain many other modules that control different aspects of the vehicle's operation. VCM Suite does not currently allow modification of any of these other modules. Some examples are: Body Control module (BCM), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module, Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), Active Handling module, Radio module, Heater, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) module, and Navigation system module.

PARTIAL LIST OF APPLICATIONS
Shipping
We utilize UPS, Fedex, and USPS for all of our shipping needs. Carrier choice is based upon availability and needs of the customer and is the sole discretion of PFYC. We always try to ship within 24 hours of order placement (do to the custom nature of some products, shipping within 24 hours is impossible, actual shipping time frames will be listed in the product description). Please keep in mind that some products such as Custom Fit Car Covers, Lloyds Floor Mats, Painted accessories, and Racemesh Products can take 3 -10 days to ship and are charged at time of order placement. Racemesh products take 4 weeks to ship as they are made to order.
Sometimes a product needs to be returned. Our goal is to make this process as painless as possible. If you receive a product that is incorrect, damaged or inferior, please contact us immediately so we can begin the returns process and make sure you receive what you ordered quickly. For all returns, you must receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.
When you send back an item you no longer want, you have two choices for getting credit, assuming you properly followed all guidelines for returns:
You've Changed Your Mind
If you have ordered and received an item from PFYC.com that you no longer want, please follow the directions in the Returning Items section below. Please note that you are responsible for return shipping, and we will not reimburse you for the original shipping cost.
Incorrect or Damaged Product
If you have received damaged merchandise or have received items that you did not order, please contact us by replying to your e-mail receipt, making sure to copy the contents of the receipt in your e-mail. Simply let us know the error or that the product was damaged, and we'll take care of it at no cost to you, including all shipping charges (up to the original amount you paid for shipping). We will wait to receive and inspect the originally-shipped product prior to shipping a replacement. If a product was damaged during shipping, you must retain all materials until the shipper (UPS, FEDEX, etc.) has had a chance to inspect the package, if they choose. Our policy is to replace damaged or incorrect products. If you choose not to accept a replacement, it is considered a regular return and subject to our return policy guidelines listed above.
Replacement Product
If we sent you something in error, and we send the correct item out but do not get the wrong one back within 10 business days, we will charge your credit card for the full amount of the replacement item or the incorrect item plus shipping, whichever is greater.
Warranty Replacement
If you feel a product you have purchased is defective or has failed under warranty, contact us. We will help determine the likelihood it is defective prior to your returning the product for inspection. This will save you time and money if there happens to be another reason for the problem you are having with the product. Once a product has been determined it may be defective and requires further inspection, we will instruct you as to your next course of action. This next step may vary depending on the guidelines set forth by the manufacturer. Shipping costs for returning parts for inspection and returning the part to you are usually your responsibility depending on the manufacturer and what their warranty policy is. More information can be found in our Customer Service section under the Product Warranties section.
