I'm in the process of building my new engine, and was wondering if anyone close can burn chips.

DIY. An over the phone job will be hit or miss (most likely miss). A part throttle and dyno tune will be better, but someone who's willing to spend a day with your car will charge a lot. When someone else does it, you can't experiment and you're stuck with whatever percentage of your potential they give you. You can be burning for $150. If you do burn, gain access to a scanner - there are free ones for your laptop.

Hey FoolCrzy,

I live in Cincinnati, OH also, West Chester Area to be exact.

Just picked up my Red / Red 1988 Corvette Coupe yesterday http://www.corvetteforum.cc/ubb/wink.gif

Do you know of any places that are good to buy parts locally?

I'm in Hamilton, Ohio (Indian Springs to be exact), and just bought an '86. I believe Calmap makes software for chip burning information. I'm going to look into this software because I work for a computer/electronics company and we burn chips all the time here. Hopefully I can do ECU chips, because soon i'll be putting a new engine in my car.

I believe CALMAP is for DFI. Read the tech article at www.thirdgen.org. It'll give you the basics.
