Default Mods on 86 need new chip Help

I have a 86 vette, I have done many things on the engine. Edelbrock heads, Edelbrock 3892 - Edelbrock High-Flo TPI Baseplate & Runners, roller cam conversion, ZZ9 cam, 1.5 crane gold race roller rockers, hedmen longtube headers, flowmasters, air pump eliminator

My original chip doesn't work well, especially at idle, I have to hold the gas at idle so it won't stop.

I had a chip at PCMforless done. It's too rich, it works better with the original chip.

I don't seem to find people near Montréal, quebec that do custom chips.

What are my options? Some people told me about megasquirt. But seems complicated. Any other options? What would be the best, not absolutely cheap, thing to do?

thanks a lot

If you datalog it and send PCMforless the log they should be able to get it right?
