LS1 Edit Question *DELETED*
Re: LS1 Edit Question i know how you feel about not many people putting posts sometimes when you really need info. i dont know much about it but i would think you would have to pay the 150 (i think) to unlock the new pcm for edit.

Re: LS1 Edit Question You post that you have a LS1 Edit question but then ask if a 2001 PCM will work on a 2000 vehicle. 
To answer your question, no it will not work 100%. The 2000 vehicles still had EGR so for starters, he'd trip a SES. In addition, the cam specs are different between the years which affects the timing tables. The 2001+ cars didn't need as much timing. I've run a 2000 timing table in my '02 Z28 without any issues though.
Now all this can be corrected with LS1 Edit, such as turning off the EGR system but he'll then need another PCM license to edit the 2000 PCM as is and the VIN won't match. I suggest he take it to a dealer to be reflashed to 2001 code and his VIN. He can use the PCM to get him to the dealer as is.
