Default Ls1 with electronic throttle body

Hi to all

I bought a ls1 corvette engine with engine harness and has electric throttle body, and also I have the ECU, which is the best option to start the engine? Thomas had the throttle body by putting a wire?

Buy a aftermarket ecu?

Need a easy option please

You are going to need to get the ECM flashed to remove the vehicle anti theft system disabled. You will also need a matching drive by wire throttle pedal for you harness. There are also many options for aftermarket standalone harnesses. There are aftermarket computers available as well but probably not worth it for a stock motor.
