Custom chip for miniram

Hey men, not looking for anyone to burn a chip for me for free, not asking how to burn my own!! I am finishing up my build, a 355 miniram, AFR 190, 10.25-1 comp, CC306 engine. Looking for info on your past expierience with a couple curtain prom burners, Ed Wright and Alvin Anderson from PCM for less, theses are the two guys I am interested in using!!

I know get the equip and burn my own, don't have the time right now, besides I would be brand new and want to get a good baseline tune from someone expierienced!! I will have more time in the summer/fall months to get into that and trust me I want to!!!

I currently have a chip I bought from TPIS when I bought the setup, I am sick of having tears run down my face while at redlights so they will probably not get another chance now that I have upgraded the engine internals, if they couldn't get a nairly stock tune right what would they do with this!!! Two of the pistons were wrecked from being gas wached from there tune!!!

***info on your passt expierience would be awesome!!!!

I've had great luck with Alvin and PCMforless. Never tried anyone else.

He tuned a 383 in a 92 Corvette I used to own. No complaint's, 380 RWHP / 380 RWTQ, 22-25 MPG, ac worked, idled at 750. All in all, pretty painless.

My Alvin tune was junk. Fuel curves all wrong, none of the auto tranny I wanted out of the chip was out (Converted to T-56), idle issues. Had a Comp teacher tune and I will upgrade to the ostrich from Moates. Just my.02

I have a friend that used Alvin for a hot cam tune on his LT1 and had a very bad experience. He didn't rave about the customer service either.
