4 letter code on your chip

I did a search for this and came up with nothing...

I was wondering if these different codes consisting of 4 letters on the chip mean different things. Sort of like the different codes you have in your arm rest...

It almost seems that every car has a different stock chip with these letters being different, at least all the stock TBI ones i have seen are different.

Maybe denoteing tranny type or the different rear ends or high output heads.

I am guessing that knowing the difference between these chips or what stock set ups they came out of whould dramatically help know what would be the best starting chip for your setup. Anyone know the differences between these letters on the chips? Im more interested in the TBI ones for now, but a list of what chips came out of which stock set up would be great and I can't find one.

theirs many different chips depending on factors such as gearing, tranny, engine, weight.
u can look for the stock bins of your specific car if you look in the moates catalogue

This is the BBC code. They are used to keep track of different calibrations. If you are willing to spend $20 you can buy tunercat's caldata and search a database of over 8000 calibrations.

WOW that tunercats one in nice, trial version only lets me choose the 1990 model year though...

quick question on that, most these chips say they are for leaded gas... is that gonna matter?

Im guessing the only difference should be like the spark tables? which im gonna change anyways. Anything elce that would be different?

Thanks guys!
