Hi I have a 1988 Chevy Camaro 305 Tbi I am planning on doing a head swap from a 87+ tpi It is a 081 casting head I wanted to know if it would work with my stock chip for a week or 2 till I can order my custom chip?

Are you changing the cam as well or just the heads?

With just a head swap, I don't see any reason the stock chip wouldn't be fine for now. I do suggest a cam swap if you aren't though.

Yes I will be putting in a lt1 cam in there out of a 94 z28 I know the chip would support the cam for the time being but I needed to know if it would support the heads.Would my 305 injectors be able to support those mods for the time being till I can get the 350 injectors and custom chip for the mods and 350 injectors?

The greater question is why you're wasting all that time, money, effort, and enthusiasm on a 305. If you're intent on computer-tuning anyway, stuffing in a 350 or larger engine is almost without downside.

It's hard to argue with 50+ ft/lbs of torque, at about the same or lower rpm.

I am pretty sure that my t5 tranny would not be able to handle the torque of a 350.

Lots of folks on here have done it. Depends entirely on how you drive the car

Hk88

Yes you are right but I use this car as my daily driver I rather make less power but have a peace of mind that everything would be ok and I don't drive the car hard but I like to get on it once in a while everything considered it is a 28 year old transmission I would rather not take the risk.

Id just get the chip at the same time. You are already getting one, so why risk it? Get everything and do it all at once

Yes you are right that's what I am going to do.
