Default PCM question

Will a caprice PCM work fine in a 94 Z28 if tuned?

If the Caprice was from a LT1 engine and it's from the same year, it should work, AFAIK. A 95 computer might work as well, but I'm not sure about all of the connections. Should be the same.

You have to have it tuned.I bought a 94 z28 that had a caprice pcm in it.I didnt know it was a caprice pcm untill I took it off and it was wrote on the back like it came from a junk yard.But the car was a dog with the pcm.Everything was messed up the speed-o was off the shift points were way early it had no timing advance, ect.I ordered one from autozone and used the caprice pcm as a core return.Now the car runs like it should.It went form maybe a 15 second car to running 13.90 at 100mph. If you have it tuned then they will have to know that its off the caprice so all the little **** can be changed.Autozone pcm was around $120.00 after core return.

Thats exactly what was written on mine. It's being shipped now for a mail order tune and it was explained to him that it was from a Caprice. He said it would work fine with a tune. Thanks.
