In need of ecm
I'd go Autozone, depending on their ECM price, and then get the warranty on it. Not that ECMs go bad often, I've not have one go out on me. The nice bit about ECMs compared to PCMs though is the fact that if it does go bad, chances are the PROM will be OK and we can remove them 
Im also interested in the prom burning stuff, but wouldnt know what to buy.
I had fun with my obd2 chevy truck using EFIlive. Picked up a computer estimated 60lbs of torque in my 98 on a 93octane tune just by playing around, but, after the summer fuel prices, I decided to pull some timing. hah.
I can only imagine what I could do with the Camaro.

Well I have all the software based stuff you need to tune, and it's all freeware. So I can hook you up with what you need there, and you're welcomed to have my tuned BIN, even thought I don't know what I'm doing and not all that much is changed. It did wake my car up though, but it might be running too lean :\ I need to datalog it. My friend thinks his pricey *** SnapOn scanner can log, so we'll see.
allright.. we'll see what happens down the road. I just want to get the thing running right again first... hah...
A call to autozone, and there ecm is $319 plus a core. so I think i'll go that route... and if Im lucky.... have the car on the road this weekend.
Gotta watch out though.. My inspection sticker is way expired.. hahah.

Just curious... Would an ecm from a 6cyl car work if I put my current prom in it? or are the computers different? Apparently, autozone Cant get them... I wish they told me that after I drove 50 minutes one way to the closest store...

Um, I believe so if they're the same BUT you'd have to check the ECM model to be sure. Like my old TPI was a 747 ECM (last 3 digits), but I don't remember what my 93s is.
