I have what you need.
I have an ecm with an ads superchip that came out of a 88 GTA.
Its for a 350 tpi auto car.
I also live in Fl. so shipping would be about $5.
Make me a reasonable offer.

I know that advance auto parts has a new one listed for like $77 without a chip.You have to use your original chip when you purchase one from them.
Not sure what the ads superchip price is right off hand but I know its over$100 maybe closer to $200 (not really sure)if you're int. I'll sell the ecm with chip for $80 plus shipping.

Thanks for the compliment!
My car is an 89 only by the vin number.
Other than that the car is totally 91-92.
Including complete wiring from headlight ,engine ,interior,to taillights.
The 90-92's had a different tpi setup known as speed density, and used a different ecm.
My car also has the 1227730 ecm to accommodate the rest of the 91-92 style stuff its outfitted with,so thats why I removed the ecm.
