Not really. Your engine will be less sensitive to changes at low rpm and low loads. With a nice cam and heads, you will not be using the lower load cells much. With my 2,800 RPM converter in my Van when I had the 312, almost the second I left the line, I was above 3,000. All the way through the gears it stayed at more than 3,500. It would go 750 to 3,000 up to 6,500, shift, down to 3,500, up to 6,500, shift, down to 4,000 rpm, back to 5,000+ I was trapping at 95-96 MPH in a 5,300 lbs Fullsize Van with a NA 305.

I'm glad to see that you have decided to get into eprom burning. Unfortunately, I am having some "internet problems" today so I cannot help zero you in on some chapters to read.
But do read the first part of this link https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/diy-...uide-book.html
to see various writeups on:
1) bin editors
2) scanners
3) burners
The above is the equipment and software you will need to burn. There are a variety of opinions of which is better, so I won't go there.
