PCM reflash?

Does anyone know where I can get it done? Or is it worth it to buy a different one and about how much are they?

Thanks guys

There doesnt seem to be as many choices as there used to be for LT1 tuners (well in my area anyway). Mail order seems to be a popular way to go but you will be down as you have to remove it and mail it. Personally I had a custom tune put on my car...a world a diff a good tune can make. Moe Bailey handles my tunes (aka. MoeHorsePower), hes out of san antonio Tx. Best bet is to find someone local that can tune it and do a ride along to test the tune or a mail order with Madz28 or PCM4less...dyno tunes are nice but really not worth the money unless you have alot of mods.

I just bought a 2nd pcm...doing the obd1 conversion...Moe is tuning that one for me so I will have 2 pcms programed for my car...nice reassurance to have that second one ready to go if needed.

My .02cents...btw I dont post on here much reason for my post count
Kind of new to this board..been on ls1tech for a while.

Good luck!

Are you simply looking for programming, or are you looking for someone to repair the fried PCM that you described in another post?

You need more than a reflash, you need the flash chip replaced.

Repairing your fried one is about $50. Used PCMs usually go for $50-100.

If you're going to be messing with programming much, go ahead and get it socketed.
