What are your ultimate goals for the car?

Any power adders?

Street / Strip ?

Strip only?

As pointed out earlier in the thread there are many very fast 97 / 98 Y & F bodies out there running the stock pcm.

I swapped the pcm in my 98 a long time ago and have done many more.

It is not for everyone and is not necessary for everyone's goals.
