Custom Chip

What chip burning manufacturer burns the BEST chips?
I have a 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula 305 TBI with quite a lot of mods (super charger, cam, exhaust, etc.). I want the best tuned chip for my car.
Thanks,
Don

Ed Wright at http://www.fastchip.com/ is one of the best.

However, the best chip tuned for your car would involve someone at your car with a scan tool and prom burning equipment to tune it as he/she listens to the car and reads the scan tool, and knows how to make the right adjustments.

Tony89GTA,
I think it is a guess too, although somewhat educated, but what do you do if there isn't any place within a resonable distance to take your car for tuning and you don't have the time, money or experence to buy the equipment and program your own chips? Under my circumstances, isn't a custom chip better than a stock chip?
Thanks,
Don

Kevin91Z,
Do you know Ed Wright at Fastchip and did he program a chip for you?
Thanks,
Don

No, I do not know him personally. And I burn my own chips. However, I constantly hear his name mentioned on this forum and other boards as one of the best tuners who knows what he is doing.
