Default Performance Chip?

I am starting to suspect that my 94 Z has a performance chip. How would I tell?

Thanks!

Default I think....

....if you take out the ECM and flip it over & open the door to the PROM you could read who's name is on it. I know that my PROM is a OEM one & I can read the PROM code just by taking the 4(?) 7mm bolts off & lifting the door off.

We always use GM blanks so just looking at it you might not tell.

If you aux. fans come on at 200 degress instead of 230 then you more than likly have a chip. Turn your air off and see when you fans come on. I'm sure there are other ways this is just the one that popped into my head.

Got CAGS. Most likely stock chip if you do.
