Question Standalone or Tuned PCM?

Hey everyone doing a 383 stroker kit on my LS1. Wondering if you guys recommend a standalone or rather a tuned pcm?

money isn't really too much of a concern because I want to do it once and I want to do it right.

please get back to me thanks =)

The LS1 pcm is more than capable of handling the 383 stroker you plan on doing, so there's no reason to do anymore unless you really have money burning a hole in your pocket.

If money is of absolute no concern, then sure get a FAST XFI or something that is undoubtedly better than the GM PCM. But like I said, there's really no reason to for your setup, just more of a bragging thing at this point.

To add....the reason I'm turning my pcm into a standalone is because I'm doing MAJOR modding, and getting rid of everything I don't need which includes the BCM, and all the other linked/ integrated computers/boxes and in the 04 GTO they are all tied together.....but, by doing this I also had to spend a lot of extra money on gauges since most of the factory gauges run through the BCM.....All in my quest to get a 4,100 pound car down to around 2,500 pounds lol....you've got to pay to play!
