swapping PCM's
 
I am in the process of going from an 01 3.8L camaro to an LS2 and I will be using an fbody LS1 PCM/harness. Someone pm'd me the statement below and I was wondering if it was true and what is the easiest way to get around to it without having to buy EFI live or HP Tuners.

"You will have to register the new PCM with hp tuners or EFI live with the current o/s on your car. if you try to put a pcm with a different vin in the car with vats it won't start."

Ed Hutchings did my PCM swap a few years ago and we now use EFI Live to tune. I'm pretty sure HP Tuners won't deal with the new PCM.

if this is true, id really like to just send my PCM in and get my vin code on it so the car will start. I am getting a dyno right away so I just need it to start.

Get someone with HP Tuners or EFI Live to disable the VATS on the PCM and it will start.

You can send me your PCM, and I can put a baseline tune in it that will start your car. If interested, email me at the address in my sig. We'll discuss the details then.
