Default reprogram or not

Need to know if I should have another chip burned for my 87 vette. The chip I have in it was burned for the stock engine with minor bolt ons. 1.6rr, exhaust, k&n filter, force induction 2.73 gears, 2500stall, jacobs electronic system and wires, and fpr. I now have zz3 with ported heads, intake siamese ported runners gutted maf sensor along with the above. Do I need to have another chip burned and if so , will I see any different in time? I know we have a few guys that burn there own chip on the forum, please let me know what you also think. Thank Daniel.

you need to find a dyno and have it done right.

Try to find a "hot rod" shop in your area with dyno and a good tuner. No mail order tune can beat a chip done with access to a dyno - assuming a competant operator
