i would like to burn my own chip but have no idea where to start or what is needed to do this. Can any one give me some info on burning? how much does it cost to get the components to do it and what kind of stuff can you change?

I think some people might be like me. I've read till I'm blue in the face and still don't fully know what I need?
The car is a '91 RS with a 305(LO3)TBI motor and a TH700R4 tranny. The ECM is a #8746.
I've got a Toshiba laptop with 333mh AMD & 96 memeory. It has a serial port and parallel port(Promulator is the plan, I think). I've got a ALDL, OBD II(I also have a '97 Z28 converted over to OBD I) combo cable from AKM Cables. Also I have and can run WinALDL.
I know that I still need a programer(such as the pocket programer) and a prom eracer. I want to skip these two items and get a Promulator.
So what else do I need? One thing is a bin file, but where do I get it? Another would be a program to edit the bin file, but where do I get it?
Someone please help with this as I'm tired of running high 16's at 89mph with the amount of mods and money that I've put in this car.
Thanks, Bobby
