Theres nothing wrong with the factory Delco computer. Just get a dyno tune and be done with it You'll also need big injectors, fuel pump and fuel regulator... if you haven't got those already

A custom tune uses the standard ECU with a new chip. Mate the chips costs about $5, it's whats on the chip that counts Should cost around $700-$1000 for a decent dyno tune (maybe cheaper in OZ??) Haltech might be $800 to buy, but then you have to get someone to wire it up and tune it. You would be up over $2500 very quickly How big are 215 injectors? Might not be enough?? Mine had 42lb Bosch injectors which was about right

Even when you put the haltech in, it will still need to be tuned regardless. They don't tune themselves and they aren't tuned from "factory" as every car/combination is different. Stick with the factory Delco and get someone to tune it for you, do all your mods that you intend on doing prior to the tune to avoid having to take it back after you change something. The blower you bought will not have a problem being ran on the standard computer.

standard computer with a proper tune will be fine. your injectors should be ok. 044 pump and a good reg should be fine. dunno bout power your prob looking at about 230-240rwkw with a setup like that on a standard motor.

I think your not getting the point mate, if you put in an aftermarket computer, you will need to get it tuned straight away anyway. May as well keep the standard computer and get that tuned, its gonna work out cheaper if your worried about not having enough money for tuning.
