If i change cams, will I have to mess with the comp?

The car is in sig... '86 Z28 w/LB9...

If I change from my horrible 179/194 camshaft that I have right now to a cam with 204/214 duration will I have to mess with the computer at all?

BTW - in '85 the cam's duration was 202/207, so this cam is just a little bit better than the stock '85's cam.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you get the version of that cam that's intended for FI, on 112 or 114 degree lobe separation, it should be OK. It'll cost a couple of extra coins though.

If you get the ultimate super-cheap ancient generic version of that cam with 110 degree LS that's been around since Peugeot started building cars, it won't work quite as well.
