Re: Hello new member with too much to ask!! I didn't know you could buy LS6 crate engines, but maybe I am wrong. As for the wiring harness I am going with speartech. www.speartech.com

Re: Hello new member with too much to ask!! Hi !!! Thank you friends for your help!
Derek,there are 2002 LS6 crate engines available via GM. they come without harness and alternator.
Othervise 405 HP to go!
John B ! your monte is SUPER!!!! thank you for answering many questions.
Did you know at street and performance is selling angle thermostat housings for tight installations! Cool!
Can some one explain me (plese try to tell it like for 5 years old kid!) How PCMs differ to another and is the power (LS6 405) programmed there by factory or does it just come plain and needs programmed by GM service and if so what they need for programming?
I got wery good service from john @ spaertech
since he know how set "fly by wire" throtle system for my vette!
Thanks!

The LS1 and LS6 differ but not all that much. If you plan to leave the motor stock, then you might as well just buy the LS6 PCM or have someone like Speartech set one up for you.
Hope this helps

Re: Hello new member with too much to ask!! You're welcome and glad we can help answer your questions....that's what what we're here for <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I will always recommend LS1_Edit for people doing a swap because your motor will be running entirely different than what it was designed for and because you can fine tune your vehicle yourself. In your case you may have poor gas problems being in Europe and you would be able to compensate for this by adjusting your timing yourself.
Good luck!

Re: Hello new member with too much to ask!! Hi John!
as for gas we have wery good unleaded 98 octane! most dragracers use it with 12+ compression without a problem ,quite clean and fast fuel!
But is it so at i have to have "VIN" for LS1 edit ? How can i have vin because iam converting old car for ls6? or do i just use someones vin?
Did you find use of LS1 edit difficult? Do it take several miles fof PCM to "learn" for modifications?
Thanks!
Oh do you know are LS6 and LS1 camaro engines Throtlebodyes same size? I havnt decide yet what to use,fly by wire or just cable operated LS1 camaro throtlebody???
Too much choises for me!

Re: Hello new member with too much to ask!! I just asked the guys at LS1-edit the same question about the VIN. Here is their response:
"...No we do not need a VIN #. LS1-edit is locked to the PCM, not the VIN. When you go to program a PCM the first time, the system will ask you if you want to use your license with this PCM. WHen you select 'yes', then the setup will be tied to that PCM, and you can program it over and over. ...Dave @ carputing.com"
Hope that helps.
