Yanking the 5.3L with a vengance

Racetronix makes plug and play extension harnesses for the knock and cam sensors. you can use LS1 knock sensors but they look like *** sticking 3in out the side of the block. but i cant use LS2 sensors since there Full digital 2 wire vs 1 wire. i am gonna search for GTO knock sensors since thats an LS1 PCM. as for the cam sensor you have to use a corvette ls2 cam gear and front cover with the cam sensor built in. the reluctor wheel is the tricky one. the GTO is the only car i know of that comes with a 24x reluctor wheel in an LS2 which as you know is critical to the proper operation of the PCM. s unless you find a GTO LS2 you have to swap reluctor wheels which requires complete engine tear down. other than that it's a direct bolt in lol

Aren't the LS1 GTO knock sensors the same as the truck knock sensors? They still go in the valley cover AFAIK.

and yes the GTO LS1 GTO sensors are the same but they are still in the valley whereas the LS2's are on the side of the block.
