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 :thumbup:

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?
