Yes you can. You need to have the eprom programmed if the cam is aggressive.

Talk to Buccaneer as he has several years of experience modding his '82.

you cant reprogram the eprom as it is "burned in". only way to change is buy aftermarket or burn yourself a new one.

OP: why dont you post the cam specs of the one you want?
