Yes, you will definitely have to change it to expect any significant gains......Youre gaining 33ci, and your ECM still thinks there is only 350ci. Post this message over on the DIY-PROM board.....they'll send you in the right direction.....good luck.

will it help?

Yes

Is it neccassary?

No... you can raise the fuel pressue with an AFPR and should be able to get near your potentionial

BUT, tell us some more stuff, what year is your car, what heads, intake, etc. You may be beyond getting by without custom PROM tuning. No matter your setup with a 383 a custom chip will help.
