The difference between stock and Mopar is that the Mopar PCM has no speed limiter, more aggresive fuel and timing curves, and a higher red-line.

It's an excellent bolt on for the Magnums. However, you know that you're going to have to put the entire "Magnum" wiring harness in your Gen I to make it work, right?

Are you looking for a PCM...I have a '92 Mopar PCM for sale if you're interested?

The torque management programming has also been tweaked on Mopar PCMs designed for use with automatic transmissions.

And, if you don't already know, you will pretty much be required to run premium grade fuel with the Mopar PCM. Some report no pinging/knocking using low- or mid-grade fuel, but I believe the majority of us have had to switch to premium.
