Default Burn Off Module

Any one have a S.W.A.G. as to the worth of a BOM from an 85? Asked in parts and got no responses.

I did the same update, that's how I came by one not being used. If you want your WTF for today Advance Auto Parts lists a new BOM for only $889.99. Yes, you read it correct, $889.99. I doubt seriously they could get one but that's the listing.

I wanted to put together a few kits for the upgrade, kept looking for 165 ECMs with a Y body chip. The asking price for ECMs got so high it wasn't worth the effort. I can find the ECMs for very few dollars and can burn semi-stock chips dirt cheap but can't create the entire CalPac. If I could conversion kits could be assembled for less than $100.00.

Conversion kits would be damn nice.

Lost my burn off module in the great tear down. Not looking forward to repinning the dash/ whatever you have to do to get a 1985 Corvette to run without that stupid thing.
