I dont know the techinical answer to that question but I can say that if you are going to do that it is not fixing the problem it is only putting a band aid over it.

is your prom stock?
did you buy a after market chip? it might not have the correct timing.
First see what your prom timing is set to if you have the tools.
your timing It should be set to 6 with the connector unplugged. so break out the timing light.
also in you're prom timing should be 6 too.
that assuming it's stock for the most part.
