Default 240sx LS1 ECM programing help needed

Im about to send my ECM for reprograming for my swap. Wanted to make sure Im not missing anything that needs to be done with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Heres the details. 04' GTO LS1, using an F-bod wiring harness. ARP rod bolts, MS4 cam, upgraded oil pump, ported & polished throttle body, hinsons headers. Rest of the motor is stock.

I was thinking all I needed was VATS removed and a base tune for the cam. Am I missing anything?

You left out a lot because we don't know how you are setting it up. Are you running cats/rear o2 sensors? How about AIR or EGR. Is it an M6? You'll want CAGS off if it is. You'll also need the fuel tank pressure sensor disabled as I assume your not using that.

Its a 4.10 rear, 305/35/18 tires, M6. Will have air, no cats. The headers do have provisions for 1 o2 sensor each in the collectors. Would like to delete EGR also.

Not sure who Im sending it to yet, still getting prices.

Thanks for the help so far everyone
