TPIS has an internet site. Go to their garage sale area and see if they
have a used memcal for your application. If they do it's $100.00. If
they don't its $450 or so for a level 5, customized to your application. 
By the way, what are the specs on your cam? What intake setup? Any head
work and how does it run? 

Also Z-tech industries (Who advertises occasionally) does custom chips.
I don't know how much they charge. I have a level 4 chip from tpis for
an 87 automatic but it doesn't work too well with my 4+3 manual. It does
have an idle speed of 800rpm instead of the stock 700. (requested rpm
according to tech1 scan tool). Mark.
