Early 305 to 350

OK, if I want to put a 350 under my TPI, I can get bigger injectors (or raise the fool pressure), and change to a 350 chip. BUT...the set-up in my car is from an 85-87 (with cold start injector), when no 350 was available from the factory. Is my only alternative to get a custom chip burned?

Bjase,

Don't overlook the PROMs for '87 Corvette 350 TPI engines.

Or you could get an '89 PROM and disconnect the cold start injector.... Of course you'd have to disable VATS on the '89 PROM, but it's possible that you'd have to do that on a Vette PROM also since they had VATS before '89 as well....

Used my stock 1987 305 TPI set up on a 350 crate engine and did the following:
1) 22# injectors
2) 1988 GM chip for a 350 (cold start Inj.)
3) AFPR to lower the 305 FP from 48 to 41PSI
Check my profile.
