Look in the LSx and LTx subforum (some members are selling off their stuff), the classifieds on this Board, eBay, ls1tech.com, etc.

Re: where can i find a computer, for my LS1

I bought my computer from SpareECM, I gave them the specs of what I wanted done and they sent me a fully tuned and ready to go 411 computer for around $300. Very good customer service and they really know their stuff, I highly reccomend SpareECM. Also if you end up buying an ls1 computer somewhere, you can send it to SpareECM and I think they only charge $75 for a tune, I can't quite remember tho.

I got mine from ebay seller SpareECM. It was $100 I think, and you can have it programmed for any year you want.

Beware of the 98 PCMs, they are completely different

Look in local salvage yards on 00-02 S10's, Blazers, astro vans etc. LS1 PCMs are very common. It needs to be reflashed anyways so grab one from a V6

Re: where can i find a computer, for my LS1

THE BEST place that I found to get PCMs from...hands down... Wait4Me Performance.

I needed a new PCM in a hurry after my tuner told me my old one was locked. I was able to get an 02 T56 PCM shipped in like a day. The cost was $85...shipped and ready to go. Could not have asked for better customer service, or a better price.

He will also send you tuned PCMs for not much more. Just another option for folks coming across this thread.
