Without a doubt, GM’s LS-Series engines are very popular. Enthusiasts are either modifying their cars that were factory equipped with these efficient and powerful engines (supported by a robust aftermarket) or converting their vintage muscle cars to run with these engines. Of course, with technology comes cmplexity. To get the maximum performance and efficiency out of any modern engine, you must have a solid understanding of the technology involved and how to make the most of it.

How To Use And Upgrade To GM Gen III LS-Series Powertrain Control Systems thoroughly examines the benefits of this robust and efficient control system. Do you want to convert from a cable throttle to an electronic throttle, and make systems such as cruise control integrate? Do you want to eliminate the Optispark distributor from your LT1/LT4? Perhaps convert your Gen I small-block to distributor-less ignition? Or convert to universal OBD-II diagnostics? Do you want to have an affordable control system to run fuel injection timing, cooling fans, air conditioning and electric overdrive transmissions while swapping all the this into your classic muscle car?

Author Mike Noonan covers all of these applications and more. Implementing a GM Series III PCM-based control system not only affords you great flexibility and tune-ability, but it can be accomplished significantly cheaper than most aftermarket alternatives. If you are planning any of these complex swaps or just looking to thoroughly understand the nuances of modern GM control systems, this book is a vital addition to your technical library.
