Help with chip.. please

Can anyone tell me if there is a shop in Northern VA or near by where I can have a chip program???. I am swaping my current 305TPI with a 350TPI and am having hard times getting the chip. Or if anyone know how to burn a chip, please help me, of course, I will pay for parts and labor. Thanhs

Do you have the craig moates piggy back board. If so, its really easy. Just tell me what you have and i'll tell you what you'll need. i'm assuming this is a MAF car. So the best bin to use is the ARAP bin.

You just hook your stock chip to that, and you now can burn your prom and just attach it to that piggy back. It makes burning proms really easy. But in your case, i suggest just getting a Memcal from a MAF 350 car to simplify things for you. Is your 350 modified or just a bone stock 350?

Memcal is what you see in your ECM, its the what people refer to as the chip.

Not always, my car hated the ARAP code, and responded really well to the "$32" code setup. Maybe my car is just weird?
