I have a 1997 Z28 that has a swapped LS1 using a 1999 Fbody pcm/engine harness. I bought my friends EFILive Flashscan V2, but I'm a little confused about the VIN lock since my chassis is a 1997 (not covered). ? Is this even possible?
Any help would be appreciated.

Flashscan support is based on PCM/TCM from 98 onwards , it doesnt matter what vehicle it is in as long as the PCM/TCM came from a vehicle that is supported. You should be right with what you have,you can also upgrade to a later model PCM if you want to give you better tuning flexability in the future.
Mikey, welcome...:cheers:
Correct. You can enter your correct VIN into the 1999 PCM, and it will say 1997 when in EFI Live. Very neat to have a "stock" 1997 LS1 Z28, huh! =)
Thanks guys. I was starting to think I purchased the software before knowing for sure if it would work.
OK, just so I'm perfectly clear, when I register the EFILive for the VIN registration license, I enter my 1997 chassis VIN number, not the 1999VIN associated with the PCM. Correct? I was concerned that if I tried to enter the 1997 Chassis VIN, it wouldn't allow it since it falls into a year that isn't covered with V2 Flashscan.
Stealth- Yes, very neat indeed. Not quite stock though..... :)

Mikey, when you go to flash your LS1 PCM for the first time, EFILive/FlashScan registers the PCM's serial number... not the VIN.
Thank you sir. :)Quote:
