Any time you start modding there is always supporting mods that should be done. I did the 1.9 rockers and was fine (low miles 30K) until I did the PCM. I started to get valve float at about 5800 rpm. I was going to get a cam anyway so I upgraded my springs, retainers, rods and the valve float went away. Now with the cam I did the timing chain at the same time. I probably would have been fine without it, but with all the valvetrain upgrades my car can safely shift up to 7 grand. How much is peace of mind worth?

Does a afttermarket PCM fix the timing without adding a new chain?
