Since Mark already has one dyno with a/f (IIRC), take it to whereever your going to get the chip burnt (I'm thinking either PHP, Pauls Enginering, or FordChips.). Now throw in the 24lbs and take it to them. They will do a baseline to see where its at with the 'stock' EEC and go from there and tweak it N/A. Then obviously if its a flip chip, they will do the same with the bottle. I still think if the car is towards the end of its completion, then the chip is the best route. Yes, the SAFC, Emanage, and twEECer add great flexibility, but the question is, when you play with the settings are you ready to risk having the motor go kaboom? If N2O wasn't a factor, I'd push for the SAFC, etc, but since it is a factor, then I would leave it to the pros.
As for 'custom' tuned chips without going to the dyno. IMO, they are 'guessing' at the tune. Unless its a Mustang...take it to the dyno and get it custom burnt right there.

Okay lets look at the chip option, If we went ahead and put the 24 lb injectors in, How are we going to get a good dyno graph to the guy burning the chip? Would we have to get him to just burn us a chip for the injectors, then do a dyno run and send him back the chart to fine tune the chip again or what?
Also how close can they tune the chips without actually being on the dyno, Do you think it will be close enough to make some descent power and stay out of trouble?
I dont think the chip is a bad idea because after putting on the venom kit I dont think Mark plans to go much further with it.
