Within the next few days I'm beginning to install my new 350. The pictures show a edelbrock manifold and carb. That setup is removed and I have a Scoggin Dickey tpi manifold with the original TPI runners and plenum. I have a BBK 58 mm throttle body. All new Internals and roller rockers. With Cast Iron Vortec Heads. Running a 2 1/2 inch Melrose Exhaust into Borla Mufflers. I'm expecting approx 330 hp out of the engine.
What should i expect the engine to run like with the stock chip? Is there someone where I could get the chip programed to my specific specs of the engine.
just curious, is the chip in an 85 a ROM or EPROM? for some reason, I'm thinking its a read only and would have to be replaced with a programmable equivalent. ???

I'm pretty sure it's an EPROM but not 100% sure. I had a new one flashed and sent since they are so cheap it's not worth shipping back and forth.
The 85 chips are kind of a PIA due to the plastic carrier they are installed in. If you bugger the pins just a smithgen you are screwed ! lol That said you can buy 1 time chips or EV erase chips for your vehicle. Getting harder to find but still can. I recently did a couple of 1985 chips for C4 forum customers with some standard edits. I'd be happy to do more but I'd have to charge you $100 ... that said just tell me what and we can see ?????? greg

Still a deal at $100 for a custom tune. Factory tune on eBay selling for more than that.
