uh-oh, I just read the post regarding intake backfire

I'm having S/R torquers and a Comp cam installed right now and I'm wondering if I'm going to need a custom chip with this set-up. I have a hypertech-stage 2 in there now with a Turbocity TBI on the Edelbrock Manifold. I do also have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator on the car. Does this sound like it's going to be a problem?

it will run

but i cant stress enough how important tuning the chip is

would you soupe up a 350 and throw a Q jet calibrated for one of those infamous 150 hp 350 SB's of the 70s? course not, it wouldnt make any power

granted you could probably soup up one of those motors to put out 170 hp and the stock carb would still work pretty well
the same goes for tbi... theres room for variation but only so much IMHO dont be afraid of the computer stuff, i cant be happier programming my own proms

I was going to get a chip burned later. I just want to make sure that this set-up isnt too much for the old chip just yet.
