Question for Tuners/programmers: Sorry so far I cannot seem to get a clear answer to these questions:
I am putting a low RPM SBC 38. Running 193 heads fed by a 87 Camaro TPI.
To make things a little more complex I am putting in a 4L80e transmission in as well.
I am told by a number of people I need to run a 1617427 ECM for best compatibility.
I can find genetic 7427 for as low as $25.00 BUT let me look for a 5.7 4L80e and the price shoots up to $160.00.
I have a Moates.net Memory Adapter: (see picture)
Question is how much can be done with a custom chip mounted on this device, and installed into a 1617424, and can it be used in any genetic 7427??
Can a custom chip be programed to run a 4L80e and a 350/383 Engine?
As I understand it carries an Eprom/medcal chip as backup/cripple drive??
Does the medcal need to be a 350/4L80e or can it be a 350/4l60e chip?? I have a couple of the 350/4L60es on hand from a 165ECMs.
If you can program this kind of chip please contact me at racprops@cox.net
It is so frustrating: I can buy almost any number of 7427s as low as $20.00 but for a 7427 for a 5.7 and a 4L80e and they want $150.00 for it, heck even the MEMCAL by its self runs around $100.00.
It bugs me.
