New ECM Installed

I just completed installing my new ECM and it has made such a difference in the Sky's performance it's crazy!!!! I now have power in the lower gears and passing power. It's like I have a new car all over again, one of the best investments and upgrades so far. The next upgrade will be the headers and then exhaust and I will be done for now.... I already made my appointment with the dealer to clear my check engine light and then I will be set for the Tahoe drive this weekend

Cool!You have done pretty much what I want to do. Did you buy a new ECM or send yours in? If you sent yours in did you have to do a crank relearn? somebody here said you have to do a relearn but I think it's only nessasary on an ECM swap.
Do you have any idea how much you may have gained by putting in the bored throttle body?
Sorry if I'm being too pushy It's just that I've been thinking about doing this for a while and I've been waiting to see what someone who has done it has to say.

Glad you like it! Enjoy the Ride!

If you have some one local with a Dash Hawk, they can perform a crank relearn and clear the code for you, saving the trip to the dealer

you can also go with the BSR tune and not have to worry about swapping ECMs or relearning anything.

If purchased a new ECM that is why I needd to a relearn, if you send yours you don't have to do a relearn. I will be getting my DashHawk next week so I don't have to go back to the dealer to clear the engine light...

BSR only has an ECM tune for the Redline not for the 2.4L
