Do I Need reprogramming with LT?

DO I need to get my computer reprogrammed with LT headers? Also, will my car be reliable as a daily driver with longtubes?

Yes and yes. Just make it a point to use good gaskets and install them properly. As long as you have no leaks you are good to go.

What do I have to do to get my computer reprogrammed and where do I have to send it? Also, where is my computer in my car?

No, you do not need reprogramming with LT's.

But If I wanted to reprogram it for more HP, what does my PCM look like? Could someone please post a picture of it in the car for me? THanks

I don't have a pic, but it's at the top left on the passenger side...

The thing with all the wires going to it! Kinda under the cowl.

There's really no use in getting it reprogrammed. Personally I think it's a waste of time and money if all you're doing is LTs. You'll want to do something if you're removing AIR, EGR, and the cats though. All you have to do is send your PCM to TPIS and they'll take care of your computer. They did a great job on mine. Just make sure you tell Jim that you want a rev limiter.
