custom chip suggestions

After doing multiple mods to my car, i figured its time i break down and have a chip burnt. I tried tbichips.com, but didn't have much luck w/ his. I know fastchip.com does them, but i don't want to pay 350 bucks for one. I don't really have the time or the patience to get the stuff to do it myself, so i was wondering who you guys would suggest checking out. My car is a 305 TBI with intake, cam, torque converter, shift kit, posi/gears, and nitrous. thanks.

And all you'll get from generic chips, is a generic tune.
Eventually someone might get it right for you, but would that take any less time and money?.

For as little as you'll get for your buck with a generic chip, it aint' worth the effort, IMO.

Brian at tbichips.com was a hell of a nice guy, but sent me two chips, both of which did not work with my car. They caused it to idle exceptionally high and run hot. I've gone through many aftermarket chips and know how to take them in and out, so i'm pretty sure no prongs were bent and the battery was disconnected, so that tells me it was the chip. Anyway, I just need to get one burnt, but don't want to have to sell blood to afford it.
