Just bought my firebird...

I just bought my firebird and I recently heard somebody mention a prom. Can anybody give me a synopsis on a prom and its function?

PROM--- Programmable Read Only Memory -- basically one of the chips in the car computer that controls the engine management functions. With the right equipment, you can "reprogram" the PROM to optimize it to you car.
