good setup/chip

All I've done so far is to change the plugs, put 8 mm. wires on it, headman headers, true duals, and i built my own intake. Ok here's what's coming to the 305 tpi trans am: comp cams magnum cam kit (270H, 470" lift), msd 6a ignition, and a 75 shot off a zex wot kit. I'm pretty sure I'm goin to have to get a new custom chip but was wondering what ya'll thought and if i do where's the best place to order one. thanks for the advice, and by the way do ya'll have any suggestoins on my setup so far. I'm working on an 18 year olds budget with a part time job, so be realistic.
thanks

i have heard real good things about the tpis magnum prom chip they many different stages for your setup i think that a stage 2 would be good for your type of setup, it's going to run you around $345 but it's well worth it!

you can check it out at www.tpis.com

Chip

Look in www.PCMforless.com and check out the chip department. Alvin does a great job at a reasonable price. His e-mail is Rooster433@aol.com

Im sorry but that magnum cam has to much duration to begin with for a 305 w/tpi...whats the LSA on that cam anyways? 110* I believe and that wont be to computer friendly either.

Also for around $400 you can burn your own chips that will be far superior to any chip that you have made for you without your car being there.

I got my chip from www.fasterproms.com. After the "buy in" I pay $150 for each time it needs to be reburnt. Each time is classified as any number of runs it takes to get the best chip. They send you a chip that comes close to your specs you give them. You take test runs and do recordings and they reburn it till it is optimized. Usually takes 3 burns. You give them $350 then. I have used them and am very happy with the product.
