Re: new computer

the ECM will work, just a matter of if you have the right brodcast code for your setup. there are a few diff ones they installed for each setup. as long as the brodcast code is for a 89 IROC F code you should be ok unless its a california code or something like that you should be fine.

Do you mean a VIN 8 versus a VIN F?

I only posted what 3rd gen ARAD was for. And nothing to do whether it was correct for camaroboy199290's Camaro.

being your car is MAF might be letting you squeek by as MAF is forgiving. you may run rich over time but not too bad. a 8 coode car runs 22 lb injectors and a F code runs 19s.
