Default 85 chip

Hi guys. I have tried going through old posts but I still don't have an answer.I have an 85 auto that I put a 383 into.280 HR comp cam,10.9 cr, 2800 stall,twisted wedge heads, big tube runners and high flow manifold I think accel, 58mm TB, 30 pound Ford red tops,ported plenum,full headers and no cat.I'm just about finished accept for the chip.I know I need a tuner but I want to start the car and see if it runs.I would like to buy a mail order tune. I don't want to do it myself and I don't want to change the ecm.Who the heck do I get it from? Thanks so much.

Problem is I don't know of any commercial outfit that is doing tunes on the one year only '85 ECM
Very little support for it out there which is why guys are converting to the '86- '89 ECM

The broadcast code or BCC is the 4 letter code written on the chip that indicates what the tune or bin is. An example of a bin is an ARAP bin which is typically found on an 89. Don't know what the bins are on an 85. The ecm in an 85 is Part Number
1985 – 1226870.
