Same here. im running an aftermarket intake off an 04 gto. My ECM is under the dash in the stock location. it goes through the firewall underneath the ac/heater box.

Not trying to be rude, but have you even read the LS1 swap sticky? The 2nd post contains this paragraph:

"See this link for pics of where to drill the hole and how to mount PCM under dash just keep in mind to make sure you USE A RUBBER GROMMET in the firewall unlike some of the pics posted in this link as that is very risky not to.
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/lt...ing-under.html (LS1 PCM mounting under dash)"

FWIW, for LT1's and LS1's, it's called a "PCM", "powertrain control module", because it controls the engine and transmission rather than just the engine.

Here's my own thread on the topic from about 6 weeks ago.

Re: 2 questions... VCM location and CAI
I was pretty tired when I wrote this, and no i didnt read the sticky....and i know its not called ECU... FWIW, its called a VCM not PCM

I wrote vcm in the title and ecu in the thread, dunno why. just tired I guess.

If nothing else, here you'll hear it called "PCM".

Searching on "VCM" won't get you much.
