Yes, I've heard this from several sources, including a guy in Missouri who 
had some tuning trouble due to his cam change (went with an engle 110). The 
D-jet FI likes to see vacuum, and most of the upgraded cams distrube this signal 
to the MPS. This causes all sorts of tuning problems. A mild upgrade to 1776 
shouldn't be a problem, IF you keep the stock cam. I hope this helps.
