Default Where to send your ecu to be flashed?

Anybody know any good places to send your ecu to have it flashed on a 89-93 gt. Im looking for a place to program my ecu for my setup to maximize it. I may go with tweecer later, but this will be good for now being i can quite affort tweecer.

If you want to maximize your current setup, you would have to get your system dyno-tuned.....otherwise, it's like getting a set of generic parameters into the ECM that should increase performance, w/out the performance verification a dyno provides.....you might want to buy a Hypertech Power Module chip instead.

well the tweecer is ok but has a very high learning curve....the RT is the one you want if you get 1..you can find great used ones for around 385...or go with a PMS an older unit pre '04 or you can go with a megasquirt

Its easy, if you understand how a ECM works and how it is programed and how those changes affect how the car runs. Thats why it has a high learning curve.
It also assumes you know what volumetric effeciency is, what injector pulse widths should be, correct mass air voltage etc

In fact, 80% of the programing in the Stock computer is for idle and part throttle driveability which just keeps it running. Setting WOT settings is a very small part of programing.

Take it to have a dyno and have them burn you a chip. It will should be no more than $400.

I dont know if any of the dyno's we have around here have that capablility of burning a chip. If anyone knows of one in Lexington Ky or near there let me know
