That is pretty expensive but I never seen a GOOD custom prom for 100 bucks either. I think the best way to have a prom burned is to have them put ur car on a dyno and tune it like that. I belive Howell does this for 250.00-300.00. Expensive but worth the money if ur engine is heavily modded.

I couldn't tell ya if that chip will solve your problems or not. Best way to find out is to throw it on and see how it runs.

For that money it better, gads, that's the most I've ever heard for a C3 ecm. Hope he gives you a few reburns for that, afterall hard to guess exactly what your engine is gonna want.
