Can anyone burn me a new PROM?

Hey guys,
The beast is alive! We cranked her over last weekend, and she is running!
All I need now is to have a custom prom made up so that I can drive it to the dyno/tuners.

Any takers? Would be willing to pay you for your time.

Thanks,
Tommy

Sounds a bit backwards man.
Shouldn't you tow it to the dyno/tuner and have them make the custom chip there?
A tune to go get a tune sounds funny.

ZZ383, 1.6 rockers, Lingenfelter 219/219 cam, vortech heads (ported) superram(ported)...bigger injectors..blah blah blah...here is a picture:



It starts, but since the stock computer can't handle the new engine, it runs like crap.

I was thinking of towing her to the dyno/tuners, but I thought it would be cool if I can get a temporary chip in there for now to screw around in it a bit.

BTW, does anyone know of any good dyno/tune shops that can dyno tune and actually burn the chip in house?
Any advice would be appreciated guys!
I have not driven her for over a year now. I am aching to drive it with the top down in the nice summer temperature. It kills me to not drive it!!!!

Thanks,
Tommy

That's a hot setup man.
Makes my engine bay look dirty.
How many miles are on it?

As far as a shop that dyno tunes and will burn you a chip, I thought you knew one down there already.
You might have luck finding one in the bay, but as far as I know, nobody does that here or there.
All the big shops do the new easy modern tunes and don't want to touch our cars or know how.

what do you mean it doesnt run well? my last engine had a bigger cam (that and only injectors should effect stock drivability) and it ran great. even good at the track before it blew. what size injectors do u have? have you played with fuel pressure or timing?

If you are near San Jose, try Speed Merchants.... I know they deal with Accel DFI tuning, maybe they can help?

They are 30lb injectors...and yes, have tried messin around with timing and fuel pressure.

I mean, the computer thinks that it is still trying to run my original 305 engine.
I don't understand how your car is running without a new prom?
