Default New cam profile/New tune needed?

I have a 383 lt1 that I've had tuned for both E85 and also 93 octane, well I decided to do a t56 conversion on it and decided to pull the motor at the same time to upgrade the cam. Curious how far off my tune will be and if i'll have to get it dyno tuned again, which becomes very expensive. The builds are the same just different cams. thanks

Previous cam:
.544/.555 (with 1.6rrs)
230/236 duration
112 LSA

New cam:
.600/.600
240/240 duration
108 LSA

I would retune it with a cam change... maybe the place you had it tuned at before would cut you a break since you are coming back to them.

Definitely retune. We don't have all of these fancy parameters in the ECM for nothing

You will need a retune especially for idle and off idle. It will make a world of difference. You added a lot of overlap and it will probably not be very driveable the way it is.
