Welcome to the Corvette forum. Just be sure you are grounded before you remove the PROM from the old ECU and put it in the new one to prevent static damage. [:o]

PROM stands for Programable Read Only Memory just to let you know, it keeps information concerning how you drive and how the engine runs.
