regarding that detonating 350 from 305 swap, i won't be burning my own chip, i'll let someone else do it. can i give them the 305 chip (i know, stupid question). also, although not as good as a total custom chip, wouldn't calling a chip maker & getting a 350 chip be an easy quick fix as i'm planning a miniram 383 for late next yr? tia

 

Ummm First... Ed is a moron!

Second... and he'll agree, a chip does nada for a q-jet, carb, anything other than a TBI (maybe) or TPI! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A CHIP!!!! The stock Q-jet is abolutely fine for a 350 or 383... if you feel the need to keep it computer controlled.

I agree with Bio. On the carb side of things the stock programming does just fine. It's not at all like a FI motor with fuel maps and such. Much much simpler. And the stock programming does fine.

If your engine/ECM was riginally an LG-4 (low output) then a custom chip might help out a little becuase of more aggressive spark advance tables.

 

ed answered a question on another board, so i had another ? for him and since he's a moderator here... you get the point.
actually, the car is a tpi. there are times when i wish it were a carb!
