Default missing and backfiring after removing sct chip

first off let me say that my car was running fine before the sct was put in, i just wanted more power.

i had a tune written and installed on my sct and put in my car last thursday. after leaving the shop, the car stalled out on me repeatedly so i limped it home.

when i got home, i UNHOOKED my battery, removed the chip, and let it sit for the computer to clear. after i hooked the battery back up, its now missing and backfiring. any help? motor is a 347, 9.8 to 1 compression, cam is 234/240 duration 534/544 lift, edelbrock heads, systemax intake, msd 6al box.

so remove the chip and drive the car around for a little while and see if it still has a problem.....if so I wouldn't be quick to say it's the chip, if problem goes away then it's the chip I would assume.
