New cam... Do I need chipped programmed?

[86GN-862+2]

Ok so I'll be re-sealing the engine on the TTA. Beginning to see oil stains around rear seal area and oil pan. Anyway, since I'll be getting into the timing cover, I'd like to upgrade the cam to a 208/208. I would like to know if the chip will need re-programmed or does it just need to have a slightly different base timing/fuel setting or can it be used as is? Any recommendations? Ideas? Questions? Please post up. Thanks.

Stock cam in place BTW.

I swapped to a 208/208 FT with some port matching on the heads and intake and the chip from before worked just fine. Watch the fuel at WOT and add if needed but timing should be the same. Chip reburns are really only needed for turbo swaps, injector swaps, or major engine head or displacement changes.

Stock everything before...
