Have any of you done this? Have any of you converted to the LS1 PCM on your LT1? There is a company (EFIConnection.com) that sells the conversions for it. Just wondering since I have never seen that before.
You'd have a higher rpm limit.
You'd also have the benefit of using EFI live, HP Tuners, or similar tuning software.
There was a thread a while back about coverting to the LS1 PCM and coil pack system. It's not cheap.

That you don't have to worry about the opti taking a crap and that you can tune your LT1 with LS1 Edit, HP Tuners or any similar device by making the change of PCM's. I was searching there website and it looks bad a** what they did with the red Trans Am.

It's liek $525 for the physical parts for the swap and $850+ for a complete plug and play wiring harness, then you need the LS1 coil set up too... Big money for the swap but it would definitely be worth it on a highly modded car.
it's only a "primary problem of the LT1" because people are quick to use it as a scapegoat for any performance or reliability problem
seems like megasquirt would be cheaper/easier
That would be a much better idea...
One of the fastest cars I know is a '97 SS vert with a LS1/TH400 swap (stock untouched bottom end, ported LS6 heads, single plane, elbow, 100mm TB, huge cam, open LT headers, n2o, weight reduction, full cage, full suspension, ~4000 stall, 12 bolt) runs 9's consistently, and he can still drive it to run errands, lol. I almost cry everytime I see his SS hood clearanced on the underside for the single plan & elbow though.
