i have the answer for ya!
Easy one is no, you do not lose your fuel guage.
You will have to use EFI Live for this. Depending on yoru mods and such, if yoru stock you can load up a 1999-02 Corvette Operating system with your Vin and your fuel guage will work, it will need to be re-called but a tuner can do this for you.
For me, i used EFI Lives custom operating system #5 and segment swapped the 99 vette fuel segment into the tune, so my fuel guage works just fine. PM me if you need more info id be glad to help you out in any way i can.

I did this on my 98 and first I used a 99 program. I went to a 01 and now my fuel guage does not work properly. Anyone else have this problem? or did something just happen to quit on me.

Need to rescale it. Had the same problem and ran it out of gas. Had to have it towed because I thought the fuel pump went out. Compare the values from a 98 and a 01.

Any chance you could send me a modified file to look at? I have tried several things and couldnt get it to work properly.

Does anyone know if a '97 Vin can be swapped to a 99-03 computer using EFI Live?
Here, in Ca, the smog tech needs to plug into the OBDII port and download information, including the VIN, from the PCM to the State computer.
I know that with HP Tuners I can't write the 97 vin to a late model and so far, no real success with EFI either.
Thanks,
