You can use whatever computer you want. If the particular one you get is for an automatic that combines engine and trans management, all you have to get is those codes and files deleted. And you will need a new converter specifically for the ls motor or adaptors. Please get the 5.3, those motors are soooo much better in every aspect. The numbers they can make are insane. My dad's 2000 Formula make 385hp to the wheels and still delivers the sticker rating of 27mpg at 70 with a 228 @.050 cam and 4.10 gears. Try that with a gen1 motor. It has an excellent torque curve as well.
