Default confused '99 with a metal tank

okay so as you can see i have a '99 ls1 t/a with a metal tank. big problem as I don't know what kind of hotwire kit to get. it would suck if I get one and it is all wrong and have to send it back for the correct one. can anyone tell me if they had the same issue or am I going to have to do it the hard way?

thats just it I know my pcm is 99 because I have a diablo that works with it but I don't know about which wiring harness to get because I do have a metal tank and not a plastic one.

Well I have a wire harness that will PnP on either a 98-02. so you really do not need to know which you have.

That and alot of guys swapped the computer and harness in the 98 cars as the tuning was better. What is the build date on your car?

GM has been known to much worse. Sounds like you just got an odd ball car Last of the fuel tanks but the newer motor...

so I did the trap door for my pump install and I had a bucket with the metal tank oh well but I installed everything as the instructions said but now I am having the same trouble as some of the others on here. Car started up fine ran for about 15 minutes before taking it out for a test drive. While doing that it wanted to shift strangely and then seem to die out after a few seconds would pick up again. On my way back to the shop it just died and won't start again. It would crank for a second then die out again and won't crank (it will only be for a second again) unless I let it sit for awhile then it does the same thing over again. Things I did:
1)99 Ls1 -->LQ4
2)stock injectors-->60# injectors
3)stock exhaust-->STS 67mm turbo
4)stock fuel pump-->Walbro 255 w/Nasty performance hotwire kit
5)841 heads-->317's
6)Pacesetter longtubes w/x pipe--stock exhaust with aftermarket Y
