Cam

I was going to take out my 350 and make it a lil "better" rite now its pretty stock just a tiny cam and some head work... I wanna get a lil more milder of a cam and possible flat top pistons i have 2 questions:

1. How serious of a cam can i get before having to reprogam my computer cause i dont wanna touch the computer if i dont have to.

2.If i were to do the flat top pistons would i be able to run on regular gas or would i have to get like premium or a higher octane gas?

Re: Cam

The TBI motors are really picky about cams, if I was going to change the cam at all, I would count on reprograming.
