LS1 and LS6 are longblocks, not engine management systems, so the harness (which is part of the engine management system) will work fine.

You'll need '98 year sensors and a '98 PCM to work with the Painless harness which is pinned for '98 electronics.

You would need a different program in the 98 Comp. though because the LS6 engine wasn't around in 98. So in order to run right, it'll take osme different programming.

No, he'll be running the same programming (software), just with different parameters to accomodate the LS6.

Same thing, different wording.
What I meant was that it would need tuning to run properly.
