it was a 3.4 V6 i took a 98 harness and converted it for the 99+pcm tor tuneability and the PCM's are cheaper. I will get a ls1 sending unit this weekend and see if that works. My other problem is the tack i dont know if you have ran into it yet and i didnt see it on the mervs but my tach is only reading half of what the actual RPM is i remember reading about putting a diode on the feed to fix it but I cant find that thread anywhere to save my ***...

I can't remember exactly (I'm not a tuning wizard, lol), but I believe it's corrected in the tune as an LS engine reads like a 4-cylinder. Also, on a side note, you are using the 98 cooling temp sensor right?

Side note: I am still using the 98 CTS
Ed says he has the tach output correct. I have a 95 formula cluster so its not the V6 cluster anymore and everything else is still functional...

Tach Output needs to be set to "3" on the table.. Any tuner should know what table that is.


I added that info to the first post in my sticky..

Not much to update right now, I'm still waiting on the harness, throttle body, and I need to find a damn power steering pump. Other than that I'm just about ready to open the operating room up.

I'm still in serious need of a power steering pump. I'm trying to figure out if I can just use an 04 GTO pump, and if so, what it'll take to run it.

Lol, at least there's some progress. Hopefully the throttle body and other stuff will be here today.

There is is...

That is a LS1 T56 harness setup to run in his car, O2 Sensors are relocated to the Transmission area for the long tube headers.
I tucked up the T56 wiring cause his car will have a non-electronic auto.

I left it inplace in the harness tho for when Kenny's nuts drop and he puts a T56 in it..

Thank again good buddy, I do appreciate you helping me out.

I'll think about running a T56 when stalled automatics stop running better numbers at the track.

On a side note, I got my throttle body in yesterday, it's pretty nice. I'll get pictures up by the end of the weekend.

AFAIK With a 24x setup (I'm pretty sure yours would be a 58x), yes. You'd need to set it up like a GTO LS2 24x with the front cover and cam gear. Also you'd need to ditch the AFM and move the knock sensor wiring as your sensors are on the sides instead of the valley cover.
