Just signed up! Hi All,
I'm currently driving a '96 S-10 powered by a Buick Grand National (turbo) drivetrain. It's running 12.00's on my G-Tech Comp...
BUT! I just bought a 2003 Corvette LS-1 motor (off E-Bay) to power my '47 Ford Coupe project car. Which brings me to a question:
The engine came without ECM or harness. I also managed to snag an engine harness from a '97 'Vette, but I'm completely undecided as to what fueling system to use. I love a turbo and may go that direction in the future...
Thanks!

- Edelbrock carb'ed setup with timing box
- Stock ECM w/LS1 Edit (which ECM?)
- Accel DFI Gen VII
- FAST XFI
Thanks!

Ditch the 97 harness (I sold one for $160 on eBay) and buy a 99-04 harness (eBay, this site, or elsewhere easily under $200). The reason you need to do this is the 97-98 ECMs are not as "tunable" as the 99+ versions, and the harnesses are not interchangable between the 97-98 vs. 99-04.
Then talk to Jesse on this site (wait4me) about having an ECM (99+) tuned for your application. He uses several different apps to give you evactly what you want/need and sends you the tuned ECM for a very reasonable price.
I'd stick with the factory EFI setup (custom tuned) and spend your money on other perfomance goodies.
Good Luck and Welcome.
