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.

You might have a problem with that Pete Jackson setup giving false knock counts to the ECM, retarding your timing

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.

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, http://www.fastchip.com.
