ECM 01227165 AUTO ZONE good/bad

Hi All,
Was wondering if i could get some input. Auto Zone sells 165 ECM for damn $90. Do they suck? I've been having NIGHTMARE problems trying to datalog with my darn ECM and i'm getting close to thinking it's the ECM, cbecause i've tried a lot of other things( i have a another post with all my issues and testing). what do you all think??? they are remans but for that price hopefully they are fully tested. anyone have one?

I've been told they are fully tested (I work there part time), but no way to confirm that.....

Re: ECM 01227165 AUTO ZONE good/bad

WOW i replaced my ECC and know i can datalog. this is GREAT thanks TO everyone. Finally i can figure out what my car needs, and give it what it needs.

Now that i can datalog i really need help understanding a few paramaitors. like inj bpw inj dc and fuel trim. IS there a good sticky, i did a search with not much luck. I need like a all round what to search for when datalogging sticky.

this weekend i did alot of tweeking to my chip and datalogged. I'm a rockie to say the lesast. i just want this thing to run safe no knock and get my blms at 128 then i can focus on AE and PE and maybe timing. Also If there is anything else i'm not seeing. i think my car can def run alot better, smoother,and quicker. right know with my current chip and motor mods. It has slow throttle response and little bog at 1/2 throttle WOT is ok but it can do more i beleve. I know i can't prom beg. it's more like i just need to see what others with more knowlege see that I don't in my data log.
i have list of mods to my motor and chip below. i was wondering if someone could be as so kind to look at my datalog and get me moving in the right direction please???? this is a DATAMASTER file.

Not sure if these really means anythings but i ran the dyno in datamaster and from a 0-60mph run. it graphed out like 200hp and 300tq i know it's not the right way to dyno it. But i'd think it would at least be a little higher then that for a vette?

Motor mods
MAF Descreen & gutted ( might need to adjust my MAF tables)
Air Foil
Milded Porting Plenum/Base/Runners
AFPR 42PSI@wot
Gutted Cats no mufflers (I'm gonna replace with TPIS Full system soon)
Freesbee delete (it's a vibration dampner thats placed over the water pump on Y bodys only)
I think thats it.

Chip Mods
VAT- Disable
EGR-Enable
TCC- Times
Cooling Fans-Times 185-195 *
AC - Loads disable
PE 60% TPS
Everything else stock
