Short answer is Yes.  Check out http://tbichips.com/ and email him about your specific setup.

i want to know about this. cause the tbi requires vac pressure for the map sensor and the cam might effect it. if you do email the guy post your results, please

You cannot just slap a performance cam in there with overlap and high duration on a TBI setup.  There are parameters you have to stay in.  Typically a 268 cam should be fine but it should say not computer compatible or something like that about TBI...

There is a limit on how low the vacuum can get. Brian has a recommended cams list on the website. If your cam doesn't have enough vacuum you'd just have to pick a different one. We have some of his stuff in my daughters 87. The TBI is really simple, I'd keep it.
