      I don't understand why companies get so much for their mail order "tunes"...it literally takes me 25 minutes to flash these older chips (20 minutes of that is waiting for the chip to erase) and about 5 minutes to do the newer electronically erasable chips.

      Here's a breakdown of what I did:
      VATS disable
      Added 2 degrees of timing across the board and an additional 2 degrees when in PE mode.
      Added in a little extra fuel down low, about 5% more up top
      Set BPC for stock fuel pressure and 350 injectors (61#)
      Fuel cutoff speed set to 255, resume at 254

      AIR is not a monitored system on TBI. Fan isn't computer controlled like TPI cars, there is a temp switch in the passenger cylinder head (I think) that controls it.

          TunerPro RT V5 for the older stuff, HP Tuners and EFI Live for the newer.

                Got it out on the strip today (finally). I'm not a great drag racer only a dozen or so passes to my name. (I autocross mainly) Times were inconsistent, but managed a 15.2 @88mph. A couple more were 15.4 at 90 and 91mph. Not sure how I managed that bit timeslips don't lie right?

                  Nice. The best I (and Motor Trend) could get out of a 1991 RS with L03 (1990 for M/T) was a 16.1. That with 5 speed and 3.08 gears.
