BCM does not affect PCM I have replaced 2 of them. What it does affect is your security. I bought used bcm and had to relearn the security codes from the ignition key on both. On one I had to have the dealer reflash the bcm because of the active handling option that was on bcm that the car did not have. I stuck with "98 bcm I think there may be differences between the years but don't know.
Tell me about the upgraded PCM... I also have a '98 and have thought of this but never heard anything about it..

When I installed an LS7 in my road race car I wanted to run the larger LS7 maf but my tuner said my PCM was not fast enuf to run it so had to use the older smaller MAF.. That would be the main reason for a later pcm for me...
