I'm thinking about a cam and possibly finding some L98 heads for the 305 to get me through a couple summers until I can afford to get my stroker done. I'm planning full exhaust, which will hopefully include Hooker supercomps if I can work something out for a y-pipe, because I don't really want to pay mufflex $250 for theirs. I'm thinking maybe a cam, something like SLP's cams that "will work with stock tuning." Going on the idea that SD is more sensitive to changes then MAF, I'm curious how much I could change on the motor and still run well on stock tuning. The thought of L98 heads has also crossed my mind since they have the same size combustion chambers as I currently have, compression won't change. Would the computer be happy with them? How about if I ported them some? What about intake mods?

Sorry for the length, and I appreciate any help I get. Thanks.

 

Things like cams, heads, intakes, will affect the SD more than say exhaust or a cold air intake. You can do whatever you want though, just have a chip burned for it. You might get away without it, but it probobly wouldn't run too good, and you'd deffinately wouldn't be getting anywhere near the potential as you would with a matched chip.
So, as long as the chip is a good match, the computer will be happy.

 

Why mod around the computer when you can mod WITH the computer? Speed density is a godsend if you're going to program yourself. If you're building a stroker and want to retain TPI you will NEED to reprogram your prom.

 

I hear ya. I'm just curious about what can be done on the stock computer. I guess if I had to change this program a little bit, it would be good practice for the stroker though.... *the gears are turning again*
