Re: info on vs v8 computer change
I'd be leaving the LS1 PCM in there, converting to anything Delco is no easy task and you will find it MUCH easier to have the LS1 PCM tuned.
EDIT: oh and as your in Perth, take it to Mitch at WA Performance

If its an LS1 engine and PCM (am confused what a LS1 stroked 355 is?) then just have Mitch work his magic on it. If its a 355 holden engine what PCM is on it?

Re: info on vs v8 computer change
well if its a 5ltr in a torana i'd be running it on a vn/vp computer and using $12P code to tune it!
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!
