    Default Upgrade E-38 OS?

    Don't have one here to try it on but, can we ugrade older E-38s with the 08 LS3 OS? That OS (12617631) is for use in the supercharged LS9 as well and has a greatly extended MAF table.
    We of course can do this with previous systems but this could be of great value to high hp/boosted applications.

    Bruce,

    Per our conversation today it looks like it can't be done. The LS3 uses a different TAC module then the LS7 and the LS3 is much more refined of a OS. It's actually a hardware issue more then a software problem.

    swapping PCMs and TACs wouldn't work?

    Can you confirm that? I heard it was going to be an E67 ECM
