Default corvette pcm for 6.0?

i was wondering if anyone would know or know if a better way. im putting a 6.0 with a turbo into a regal. i love the random number generator in the computer and key fab. ive had one car get stolen so i like to go over board on this one. can i use a corvette pcm to control a 6.0 and keep this feature? or is there an easier solution. gps would be even better. lol thanks!

im not sure if your asking about the keyless ignition, but if you are I would think that it is controlled buy a body control modual, that is tied into the ecm. In not positive though.

when i sold cars last year. the new corvettes came with push button. mor importantly. there was a random number generator in the pcm and key fab. you couldn't start the car at all with out that number being correct. that way they cant just power the pcm and try to steal it. im trying to get some good security for this one. im highly considering a gps unit also. is there any other better ideas? i just wanted to have this insurance. if i can have it were only my key can start it no matter what. i would be thrilled.

the ls2 is a 6.0, but not the same as the trucks 6.0/6.2 engine.

I believe the random number generation function your talking about is part of a BCM not the ECM itself.

Yes the bcm is a body control module. The best thing to do is get a good alarm imo. I know that they dont always work but must will look for a car without one to steal first.
