3Gor's LS3 Hot Cam / TR6060 Build
« on: March 26, 2013, 06:07:39 PM »
I am beginning to plan for my build and gathering the parts I will need as I know it.  Any help here will be greatly appreciated.  So far, I am focusing only the the engine, transmissions and get the car running.   Later, I will plan for upgrade brakes, suspension, diff, etc.

Anything else do I need to get this up and running? Many THANKS in advance.

I've used that Controller kit before. It works great... but it's a mess.
FC/FD plug and play wiring harnesses, LSx swap AC systems, LSx swap power steering lines.

A mess because it uses a huge fuse box for a handful of circuits (good luck finding room for that in the engine bay along with the other 3 FD fuse/relay boxes), every part of the harness is too long... like there's 8" for every injector, so it just looks like a rat's nest sitting on top of your engine.  There are no transmission controls, so you'll have to make your own reverse light, reverse lockout, and speedometer circuits, all of which are not -and cannot be- controlled by the PCM, which can't be rewritten....

Also, the PCM they send is not assigned a VIN, so it's not a Corvette, Camaro, or GTO PCM, it's a proprietary GM Controller, and HP Tuners & EFI Live don't sell credits for cars that never existed. Good luck on the dyno.

And, since it's a proprietary PCM, it uses a different pinout than any of the other common GM cars.  I spent a few days trying to get the pinout from the distributor, then another couple of days getting it from GM performance parts.  Good luck if you ever need to trouble shoot it.

WOW!. I noticed that you also build and sell the harness, etc. Does yours work with my build setup?  please post (or PM) price, specification, etc.  Thank you Pez!
