Will I possibly benefit from a custom prom?

I have a Hypretech TM chip. I realize that most of my mods are bolt-ons and a custom chip is espeacially beneficial with mods that include breaking into the motor. What I'd like to know is will I enjoy the benefits of a prom programed specifically with my mods in mind. My mods are in my sig.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

OEM chips are genetic in nature, for both maintaince and driving sytle. Both of which you can customise in prom burning.

You can then or also taylor the chip for actual engine changes.

You can choose your fan turn on/off temps, you can enable highway mode for better mileage, you can put in a rev-limiter, the list goes on and on.

If you're curious about what you can do, download WinBin (free) and get the definition file for your car. Have a look at all the setting you can play with.

You can do all kinds of stuff in the BIN. You can actually make that annoying *ss shift light functional(it will light up at the RPMS you tell it too) But you really should reburn a new PROM after every mod to get the BEST outta EVERY MOD. But this also takes alot of time. Hense why people do not do it this way.
