I am stupid!

Need alittle help here. I got a 89 camaro TBI 350 auto and I got the burn1, tunerpro, winbin, bincomp, flashburn. I also have the BIN for the camaro but I dont have the definition files or ECM files. Where might I get these? Anyone have some good pointers to a person starting this for the first time?

What I have done so far that requires a burn is a 350 from a 305, upgrade to 55lb injectors, cat back exhaust, next weekend comes ZZ4 intake, TPI heads, TBI adapter plate, and possibly a open air element! Hopefully this will yeild some good HP increases with the chip burn. Thanks!

I already looked there but I dont see it. I have the 1228746 ECU and the program ID $61 and I can not seem to find either of these. I know they are out there because on the TBI forum some of them have done prom too. THX

As soon as I get a chance I will hook them files up on my laptop. Is there anything I have to do once I download these to use them in tunerpro or winbin? You all have been a HUGE help, Thanks!

Same my ecu file into the TunerPro/ecu directory. You don't NEED to do that but it helps in the long run if you are going to use TunerPro exclusively.
That's all you need, it's all in that ecu file to get things rollin.

Super! So when I save bin I just "save as" so as not to screw up too much from the original as I would always have that to go back to. I can not wait to hook this baby up to my car but I have to wait as my ALDL cable has one male end and one female end and I need two male ends. Just need a adapter, I should be able to find one at a computer store. Its raining up here anyway so hopefully I will be able to do it on saturday. Thanks again and If you all have any tips before I get started just let me know~

Ok...Bad news. Got the intake and heads on but have yet to hook it up to running. I am doing that tomorrow. Problem is that I leave this saturday for Iraq so I dont have time to mess around with buning a chip. I will have to do it when I get back. I dont think anyone could give me an idea of how much power increase I could see going from swirl port to open and a ZZ4 intake? I know its hard to say but there should be an est. I am still not too sure about me burning my own chips. From what I read thus far it seems kinda difficult if you never done it. I will try when I get back and hopefully I wont blow up the engine. I need a DIY PROM burning for idiots book. Oh well. THX for the help everyone and hopefully I will make it back in one peice.

Pobably a 30 - 40 HP increase, but the cam is still going to hold you back. The LO3 cam is a terrible cam from a performance standpoint. None the less, you should still eb able to get a good sizable power increase with proper tuning.

I know this is not topic related, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your courageous service to our great country. It is heroes like you that make this country the greatest on earth. .:hail: What lies ahead of you is far more important than any car or chip. When you get back, I would be honored to help you in any way I can. Shoot straight, keep your head down and may *** bless you

Thanks. This is what I have wanted to do since I was a child. I am proud to serve and love every second of the time I spend with my soldiers. As far as your help with the chip burning, that would be awsome!! I will PM you when I get back to see if you would be able to help me out. THX
