Default What chip to go with?

Ok guys, here's the deal. I just bought a set of 24# injectors to complete my combo here, so I need to either get a new MAF or re-program the one I have (75mm Pro-M). Recalibration costs $100 and takes about a week, a new MAF I can get for around $175, or I could buy a Pro-M MAF tuner for $150 and program it myself.

Instead of the above, I was just thinking of getting a custom chip burned. Why waste $150+ on a new MAF when I can put that money towards a good chip, right? I am of course assuming that the chip will compensate for the bigger injectors.

I don't want to get a tweecer or eec tuner because I don't have access to a laptop and I want my car to be tuned on the dyno. Plus I don't plan on changing my engine combo anytime soon (famous last words). So what chip do you guys reccomend? I want something with a couple of different settings (stock, street, strip, etc.) Thanks.

Also, anyone know of a good dynotune capable shop in central/south cali?

Remember, it's not the chip but the tuner. I highly recommend Swanson's Performance it Torrance. Danny knows his stuff and will get the best from your car. Danny uses Autologic but I'm not sure if he sets up different programs for the 94-95's (meaning switch chips).

According to a local shop that deals with autologic, you will have to get your MAF re-calibrated. I tried to do the same thing, and said it couldn't be done. Your best bet is to find a new MAF, buy it from someone who has it in stock. I placed an order for my PRO-M 75mm for 24lb injectors 3 weeks ago, and have yet to see it.
