    4L60E to 4L80E in a 1998 Camaro SS

    I have been searching for a week and I can't find the answers I need. I have a 1998 Camaro SS and have swapped to a 4L80e. Can I do a segment swap using the 1998 PCM? If not, what's the simplest way to get my 4L80e up and running? (repin, adapter cable, mystery black box ect..)

    got a 411 pcm installed?
    My setup is a 356ci with a 260/268 (212/218 at .050 lift) duration cam with aluminium corvette heads and flat top pistons running 11.3 comp. ratio. with tuned port injection and vortec crank pick up and dizzy running a 411 pcm and 60lb bosch injectors, 1.6 ratio roller rockers. For transmission its a 4l65e built with the monster in a box mega ss kit. All in a 92 chevy ext cab 4x4 pickup with a 98 cab now installed with a third door! running only e85

    97-98 LS1 pcm's are a non segmented so theres no way to do a segment swap.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    The most common way that I know of is repin for a 411 pcm, plop in the newer fbody os and have the trans segment swapped for a 4l80 one, then adjust the fuel system tables to accomodate for the differences so your fuel gauge reads correctly.

    You could just do the relay mod, works perfect with the 4L60E segment you have currently.
