Having them flash a stock tune on there isn't going to help you out for a swap PCM, since the VATS and all the emmisions will still be in it, making the check engine light come on.

Couldn't they just delete the DTC's for the emission stuff and disable the VATS settings with the tuning software?

Do you know what PCM number you need? I can probably hook you up.
