hey whats up all i have got a 85 385 tpi. i am dyin to see if a burnt chip would make my car run better that it does now.
the car runs and drive fine but i want to see if i could fine tune it to run better. my set up is a 85 385 tpi ported upper and lower intake, 24 lb injectors, 76cc heads shorty headers to a hooker aero chamber muffler.
i do have a 85 vett chip in my ecm so i can use the 24 lb injectors
cam specs are

214 deg@ .50 intake 477 lift
218 deg@ .50 exhaust 477 lift
with 1.5 rockers

my car ran a best of 14.05@ 96 mph in the 1/4 mile last year. i think this could be a little better. though the only exhaust i had at the time was the shorty headers. i just got the new exhaust and muffler last week.

i dont have the know how time or MONEY to buy the software cables or whatever i may need to tune this thing.

any help will be appreciated

 

You're right, a custom chip would help greatly.
Some cylinder head upgrades would also help.

 

There are several places in North America that offers to burn chips. In the USA try Fastchips. In Canada try Wester's Garage. I am currently corresponding with Wester's and will be placing my order soon.

You only want to order a custom chip once you are sure you plan on doing no more up grades to the engine or power train. Otherwise you need to get a new chip burnt to account for the changes.

I just reread an article last night entitled "Chips and Salsa" that provided dyno HP improvement of about 15 to 20 HP gains from a Fastchips custom chip. See the following:
