Computer Reflashing

Does anybody know of a company that does reflashing on the stock 2.9l Speed Density computer? Im running a Volvo turbo at 8psi, I have a Delta Cams .420 turbo special, ported heads, worked over comb. cham., small block valve springs, free floating rockers, ported and knife-edged lower intake, Custom Alum Upper intake (under construction), 35lb/hr "brown tops", Fmu, 65mm 5.0 TB. My next project is a custom water to air intercooler. I plan on running a 3.0 mass air unit on it in the future, but for now the stock ECM is going to have to do. Is there any companies that do 2.9l SD reflashing?

I don't think the ECM's of that vintage have flash memory in them. The chip was burned and that's that.

Your best best is an ECC from a 1990 Californian 2.9L Ranger. It's MAF, and it's easy to get working.

I'm running a 210 @ .435 Intake / 216 @ .450 Exhaust lift cam. (non-speed density friendly) 65mm throttle body, 19lbs injectors. I used that computer and an IST air adjuster. I found a good used one for 85 bucks. I've heard of people trying to get the 3.0L to work, but I haven't heard of any successes yet.
