Building the system is not the issue. I can do that. Its deciding which ECU to use. I'd like to stay OE if possible. Just researching the pros and cons of each. At this point, it has been brought to my attention that the GM units have emission tables that may get in the way or affect idle and part throttle operation. The question being, 'How much / bad is/will this affect the tune' ? Being only basic engine sensors will be utilized in this application w/o emission equipment, is this aconcern. I know of a few 4th gens that have lots of their emission equipment removed and done appear to have any running issues.

What ECM does the E-rod LS use? COPO camaros? Car Craft Jan '14 states the COPC is a Holley unit. Can this be confirmed?
