SCOTT....

I just finished my motor a few months ago, and was faced with the same prom dilema that you are. I do intend to learn to burn my own proms, but I didn't really want to get into that right now. So, I had Dean at Street and Performance (in NLR, Arkansas) do a prom for me. I actually traded him my old Edelbrock 3860 intake for the chip, but his chips normally sell for $225 (a lot chepaer than an Ed Wright chip). I have been through several cars and proms in my time (Camaros, Vettes, ZR1s/ Hypertech, TPIS, MTI), and I can say that Dean has done the best chip that I have ever had (and TPIS was the worst). He works with you over a period of months, and sends you several chips (I've been through 7 chips) to make sure that you get the perfect chip. He doesn't just blindly sell you a chip and then forget you. However, you'll need access to a Tech 1 or laptop to get good data so he can dial in your chips. Plus, Dean has a good bit of experience with the vortec heads. You can call (or e-mail) him anytime about your car, and he loves to talk with you about getting it right.

Just my 2 cents (I should get a commission from Dean, I think I'm his best salesman)......

Later, Mike.........
