The cookie cutter aftermarket proms are pretty useless.  The custom ones
can improve things a bit.  I am going to have to learn to do my own also.

Since someone already worked on my prom, I am going to get the original
and diff the two binary images.  And on top of that I have several 
versions that have minor changes that I will also diff to see if I 
can figure out exactly what was done.

There are tools available to redo a 94+ ECM.  The tuner I used I have seen
him reprogram a 94+ ECM.  He had some sort of device that plugged into a
laptop and then into the diag connector and he used it to reprogram his
car.  He does this at least part time and maybe full time, so it could
be a pretty expensive tool that he had.  Chips are much easier, you
can have several different ones that they are pretty easy to changed,
and you don't have those accidents (ie you get sloppy and turn the
car off in the middle and need to have the computer redone by someone
else).
