Hey guys,

alright say the engine gets bored, mild cam, head work, bigger injectors, wondering what one would do about the computer? I dont know much about the fuel injection systems. Do they make chips or sell computers to compensate for the cam? any help would be a help.



My trucks an 86 250 302 EFI

There's places that will re-flash the computer so it will work with larger cams, but you need to be careful just how big you go. The computer will compensate for a little bigger cam, but not much. As for the injectors, a better fuel pump may be required depending on what size you go with.
