    OK so long story short, I have had my green 97 gtp for a while now. It was pretty much stock, but i parked it to do some work to it for a while and my girl fround a black 97 gtp that "ran" but needed some work.....the car had some sort of "tune" on it......otherwise stock with 3.4 pulley.....i know i know.....I put my stock computer on it, put my stock blower snout on it, did fresh plugs, bla bla bla and it ran like **** and found out it had a hole in number one cylinder, so k member came out of my green car and is now going into her black one.....then I will build something different for me.....

    Well is all this swaping around and taking things apart, I kind of half forgot which computer was which. I put on in the back of the black car, which i believe was the one I had tried on the black car that came from my green car.....Well I want to use the one from the green car for now because it is stock and not a ****ed up only god knows what tune.....Is there a way to track down which numbers on the computer belong to what vin number car? I use the torque app for android so idk if I can see what vin is stored in the ECU with that or not.....any other ideas for tracking the computers down by the numbers on them? I dont have hp tuners yet so that is not an option right now lol

    97's are very noticeable because they have the knock mod on the cover that can be removed. Also the 97 is noticeablly larger than other PCMs

    Big thing I am wondering about is if the numbers on the computers are in numerical order....like if the earlier serial number car (from VIN) goes with the earlier serial number computer.
