E38 PCM Tune
Hey all, I will be swapping an LS3 into my 240SX, but need help deciding which PCM to use.
I am finding Corvette LS3's as well as 2010-11 Camaro LS3's.
From what I know there are no mechanical differences between pre-2010 LS3's and 2010 and later, but they do use a different PCM.
It has been difficult finding an affordable 2010-11 PCM to use, so would I be fine with using an 08 Corvette PCM, wire harness, gas pedal and throttle body to run the 2010 Camaro LS3?
From my understanding the 2010 PCM is also a little harder to tune, and needs the BCM to run. Is this correct?

I just actually bought a 2010 PCM that's been VIN-flashed already for $100.
I should be able to get the gas pedal for $50 new, and the engine harness for $210 new (even less if I can find them used).
I called a bunch of PCM tuners, and the consensus was that there should be no problems.
What exactly is easier? I will be bringing the car to a tuner for the tune.
