    Could a carb work w/the stock computer?

    Just a thought. If I happened to put a carburetor on a modified 3.8 upper intake and left all the sensors to keep the ignition working, do you think the stock computer would remain composed enough to fire the plugs correctly? If so I would just have to use HPTuners to control the timing but other than that, tuning would be done on the carburetor. I just don't know if the stock computer could handle that. What do the HPTuner guru's think? TIA
