Default Hypertech chip

Anyone know if you can take a chip out of one car and reinstall in another?
Have a chance to get a used chip cheap, but it's coming out of another Vette.

I bought a HyperTech Stage II chip from an '87 Vette on E-bay for $50. I could use an '86-'88 chip as we have similar ECMs, cold-start injectors and MAFs.

I realy didn't expect much and wasn't disappointed.

Don't expect much if any gain from a chip. Between your MAF, an AFPR and a fan switch you can save some $$.

Anyway, what year Vette is the chip from? Since you're '89 is the last L98 year with a MAF but is the first year w/o the cold-start injector I think you will need a chip from an '89 Vette only.

The chip is from an 85 auto. I have an 89 auto.

89 has a different cam and heads, an 85 chip will not run correctly in your car
