Default NEED ECU REPROGRAMMED???

I have a recently rebuilt 94 LT1. It was rebuilt by BES (Bischoff). My question is:

BES Stroked and bored to a 383
Lowered the compression a slight bit (Around 9.6 He is confirming)
I added Roller Rockers (1.6)
Removed the CATS and added Hooker Long Tube Headers
Replaced stock Injectors with 30lb (Tought maybe a Procharger would happen)
Added Adj. Fuel Pressure Reg.

Can I still use the stock program (or the Hypertech one)?
Should I send the ECU off and have it done?
If so who is the best/Fastest and what exact info will they need?
What PSI should I adjust to?

Thanks

How I got into this sutuation is a LONG story but it has not been a good month.

THanks Again

Whatever you do don't send it out to be reprogrammed, bring the car to the guy.

You will get better results if the guy has the car right in front of him. I've seen too many people send out their PCM's and get it back disappointed.

The ONLY guy id think about sending it to is Ed Wright (fastchip.com).

Other than that, Id have to agree with Mojo.

And that thing will REALLY benefit from some programming :eek:

Good Advice. How important is it that it is tuned on a Dyno or can a good programmer do it without a dyno? I am looking at LT1DAVE near Cinn. He comes well recommended from some F-Body guys but he does not use a dyno.
