If you have an auto in the 96, it will be "plug and play" for now as the gears will be the same and the speedometer will be correct. But, then you can finally tune your engine!

You can go ahead and install it, but you'll want to have a case relearn done. It relearns the variation between the crank and cam sensor.

96 PCM are NOT supported by HP Tuners or any other tuning software. You MUST install a 97 to be able to tune your engine.

Plugging the PVC system is NOT a good thing for your engine.
