New Chip? or not...
I just purchased an 85 Z28 which originally had the TPI 305 in it. The previous owner put a built 89 TPI 350 in the Z28. Bored, mild cam, ignition system, etc, as well as a different rear end. My question is, the car runs great but I think shes running rich. Does the stock PROM suffice or should I look at a replacement concidering the new engine isnt exactly stock.... If I should look at a replacement can someone point me in the right direction...

Ok i Pulled the ECM and found these numbers. The main ECM number is 7-7165 and the code inside of the blue chip is APYU 3516. Previous owner claims that he added a Hypertech chip. Not seeing it, so apparently he was wrong.

You now have 3 post with the same questions? Your car is running rich, have you gotten any codes from the ecm?
