Cam and head upgrade

Thinking about upgrading my top end since i have a blown head gasket anyway. I have been doing a lot of research and have ran into an issue that i dont know what to do about. I have a 1991 Z28 5.7 TPI and people have been telling me i cant do much without having my computer and engine tuned for the upgrades. What can I safely do (Cam and heads) while adding hp without having to mess with the computer and sensors? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Cam and head upgrade

you can do a cranes 2032 which in it own is potent but without a chip you wont get much.
but you can do the intake, exhaust and stuff but you can get a chip made for $150 and get much more out of your mods.
Go look at TBIChips website just to get an idea its simple all you do is fill out an order form or call with the mods you do and heel make a custom chip for you that will work with your mods and get the most out of them
