You will need a new chip. If its just a mild 383 you might be able to get away with the stock injectors and increased fuel pressure. The chip burner will want to know what injectors you have and wether or not the stock ones will work.

Visit the PROM board. Don't bother with "buying a chip". That is the sure and quick road to disappointment, no matter who burns it; unless you take it to their shop and they do it on a dyno.
