hyperjunk? i'd stay away, they add a little bit of fuel and timing at WOT, that's about it...

thanks bszopi i think i am gonna go with that since it will allow me 2 remove the maf sensor ill be able 2 put a weapon r cold air intake in it without problem....stupid question where is the stock chip located

[king4u253]

have u used that chip before and where is the stock chip located

IIRC, on the A-bodies, the ECM is behind the glovebox, pull the two screws out that hold the MEMCAL cover on, pull the MEMCAL, attach WOT-chip/adapter to MEMCAL correctly, reinsert into ECM, throw glovebox back on.

have u used that chip before

Both my 91 and 92 have custom tuned chips by Ben, the owner of WOT. Ben is a good guy and does good work.

thanks good 2 know im deffrently gonna get it jus being able 2 move the maf sensor will make it worth it

[king4u253]

so i pulled the glove box saw a big metal box are the two bolts on the side the one ur talking about and 2 order my chip i need a alphabit code/4 letters is it on the stock chip?

[robertisaar]

correct, when you pull the two screws out, the cover will come off and you'll see a blue plastic object, should have a silver sticker on it with a 4 letter code. if it's not on the outside of the MEMCAL(blue plastic object), then remove the MEMCAL from the ECM, then look through the little sight-hole in the top, you should be able to see the sticker from there. if not, then CAREFULLY remove the blue cover via the little tabs on the side(they're pretty brittle).

And use the LETTERS, not the numbers when you order the chip.

[robertisaar]

i've been able to decode them based on the external PROM ID(4 numbers, not letters) before, but going by the letters is a LOT easier.

thanks ur help is greatly appreciated i know id be lost without ur advice

[king4u253]

so i finally got some free time 2 mess with the car.....first off i sounded way easier then it was but fom diffivulty 1 to 10 its about a 5 and i say that just becuase the bolts on the right side arnt visible i had 2 pull my ecm out to get to the two bolts if anyone else is planing on doing this be smart and do like i did and not put the bolts back on the right side since im gonna take it back out when my perforamce chip arrives
