Hi all

Im sorry to bring the old LS back again ....

I was just wondering if anyone who has gone SBC to LS power would mind posting their feedback on whether it was worth

1 the hassle
2 the expense

What driving/owning improvements have been gained. Is the GM ecu easy to work with??

Thanks

The ecu is good but complex imo and it's not as if you can get it tuned at the local rolling road as very few people know how to modify it. Efi Live seems good but unless you're competent with this sort of stuff you may have to rely on support from Richard (Ringram). If doing a swop myself I'd use a DTA or similar and it would be compatible with all engine versions.

thanks Mike, do you think the engine is a lot more useable than a EFI SBC??
