which computer?

I don't know much about computers, ecms, all that stuff. (computer, ecm-same thing right?)

My 91 rs has a 350 truck motor in it with the original TBI and all accessories from the 305 on it. I think it has the original computer. I this hurting me? I don't know if there were differences in the computers or not.

If I'm going to get a chip burned anyway do I still need to change the computer?

Re: which computer?

That makes sense I guess. I will be modding later and will need a new prom, just wondered if the ecm was fine in the meantime.
