Hello my first post ive been searching for 2 hours and cant find the answer. Im using a 5.3 harness and wanted to know can i use a ls1 ecu or does it have to be the 5.3. The reason is its easyer to get a tune done on the ls1 ecu. Thanks for any help. Ryan

Don't know why you are thinking one is easier to tune over another... Anyway, you can full flash a 5.7 tune into a 5.3 PCM or vice-versa, so it doesn't really matter. It really doesn't matter what harness you have, as long as you have all the needed connections and sensors. Do it all the time - I just put an EFILive custom operating system in a 5.3 PCM to use in a Mustang with a 427 cu in LS7 (with an LS1 reluctor ring) transplant... there's a combination you don't see everyday...
