Yes, it can be reprogrammed. I can't tell you power increase for something custom because there's no way for Superchips to have done a dyno test for every combination. It quite natural not to see big increases on the older vehicles because they do not adjust to air flow changes and must be programmed specifically for them.

86-302efi-can It Be Programed?

OK I like the sound of the Diablo chip better than the super chip.
Here is a specific list of mod I have :
edelbrock heads p.n. 6037 190 int 160 exh
wolverine cam 424. int 448. exh 115 lobe sep 194-204 dur@50
Dynomax jet hot headers 1.5 primarys 2.5 collectors
MSD 6a and coil
future plans:
edelbrock intake
edelbrock throttle body
bigger cam [something with a bigger lift and slightly longer duration]
here are my questions:
will I see a huge difference in performance?
Do i have to do intake and throttle body first before the custom
progamming?
will there be a signifficant differernce between lets say the comp cam
with a .455 in .483 exh 115 lobe sep 206-216 dur@50 vrs the cam i have now.
is diablo sport available {seems you have a lot of satisfied cust}
or should i go with what i have now?
how much for the program?
help me out with these questions the best u can

The intake and throttle body won't effect the custom programming. Give us a call (770-806-1955) and I can go over the custom program process (a sheet needs to be filled out) and the pricing. Diablo is reasonable with custom (less than half the Superchips custom fee).
