Default Performance Data Question

Hey all,
I bought a performance plate for the console of my 96 LT1 auto.
I think I may have the wrong one for my car. I didn't know there were two C4 LT1 engines. The one I have says 330 torque, 10:5:1 Comp and 5.7 Tuned Port Injection.
Do I have the wrong one?
Thanks!

Well, you don't have an LT1 plaque at all. Tuned Port Injection refers to L98's, so that plate is just plain wrong if it says LT1.

Those plates didn't come from GM, so it's anybody's guess as to how companies produce them.

1992 was the only year that torque was 330. In 1993, they changed the cam a little bit, and upped it to 340.

Is "Tuned Port" still accurate?
