Post Anyone know where I could get a good chip burned?

I was looking to get a chipped burned. I have a stock ported TPI unit with nitrous and a stock chip. Wondering what kind of gains I could see?

I highly recommend www.fasterproms.com because I have used their product. They burn it to your specs then have you make some runs on them and go from there. Within 3 burns, your car will be perfect. I don't mean just WOT. They will do all the necessary stuff which includes the cold start, idle, warm start, idle, curise and of course the WOT. They are $500 for the first time and after that, it is 150 for each mod. First time is considered AFTER you are happy with the chip. The subsequent $150 is if you ever make any mods. Runs are logged with Diacom and they will send you a new chip. After you are happy with it, you return all the old chips and the Diacom and that is that. Very pleasant to work with especially when it comes to troubleshooting.

I've had good luck with Fastchips and Jet modules. I have not used either on a 3rd get as of yet.

I recommend burning your own. Its a cheaper and longer drawn out process to do it yourself but hey, once you have the equipment you can do it indefinitely.

Go to www.thirdgen.org and go to the DIY PROM message board. Read the intro article up top of that forum to get a basic understanding.
