I assume you have a 502 Mag. Yes, you will need to do some programming with that much head work, especially the porting. In order to take advantage of the port work, you should change the camshaft. With that, you could pick up 30-40 hp, possibly 50. I don't know anyone in that area that can program a Mefi. I can and I'm only about 8 hrs from you. Hope this helps.
