Re: corvette cam (vettesweden)
You will need to have your computer chip reprogrammed to work correctly with such a large cam.
I also would suggest you port your plenum, runners, and base manifold to let that engine breathe if you have not already.

Re: corvette cam (vettesweden)
You might have a problem with that Pete Jackson setup giving false knock counts to the ECM, retarding your timing

Re: corvette cam (Mark85Vett)
The 85 ECM is too slow to give a stable idle with that cam. Best fix is to rewire to 86-89 ECM and get a custom prom for that.

Re: corvette cam (vettesweden)
Yeah an upgrade of ECM is a good mod to do when you do this cam, but for the chip itself id recommend Ed Wright,
