Where to buy tuned PCM
I am looking to buy a pretuned PCM for my LS1 swap, I don't feel like buying a PCM then shipping it to a tuner to have it edited, I'd rather just buy one all ready to go, plug and play. Anyone know where I can get one that is tuned for an LS1 swap or does anyone here tune them?
Actually I just found some on eBay from a company called Spare ECM. What options do I need to change in the PCM for this swap anyways? Here is their list:
- 1999-2000 LS1 Operating System Installed
- Eliminate VATS (vehicle anti-theft system)
- Rear O2 Sensors Delete
- Fan 1 Temperature On and Off Changed
- Fan 2 Temperature On and Off Changed
- Axle Ratio Changed
- Tire Size Changed
- Top MPH Raised
- RPM Limit Raised
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes Delete
- A/C Deleted
- EGR Deleted
- Air Pump Deleted
- Fuel Tank Pressure Sensors Delete
- Disable Torque Management (automatic)

No problem, when I get home I'll send you the list of DTC's I had deleted. BTW are you keeping emissions or no?
