If it was auto it should be a 700r4, if manual probably a t5. My brother owned a 89 1500. Out of curiosity I swapped computors and no there is no benifit, in fact I think it ran a little worse.

Re: tbi computer

The lo3s are hogs down low, but not because of the computor. If you want more top end out of it you'll have to get it to breath better, and need a cam that makes power at higher rpm.
