APKC question
First off let me admit I know very little about chip burning.
With that said, I have a very basic question. Seems like the chip that's in my 1989 Corvette, automatic, 3:07 gears, which is a APKC 1304, is a very rare chip. I have found very little info on this chip.
If a person was going to burn me a slightly modified chip, would that person just use a more popular ARAP 4194 and just modify this file?
And, would this actually mean that the ECM was running off a ARAP file and not the APKC file? I would be using a Moates adaptor board.
Thanks
Joel

if you look at the available listings

there are many with different codes that are for identical applications
The new chip contains the adjusted tune information to run the engine; the old memcal (chip ) is fitted to the adapter for base functions like limp home mode

Thanks for the reply. This is about what I thought. Just trying to understand a little more of this "tuner" process.
After many hours of reading about this subject, I tip my hat to you guys that can do it!
