I don't know how much I agree with that. They can't handle wild changes, but the closed loop operation (meaning PCM is taking input from the O2 sensors) is seeking a specific afr, and the slight deviation in displacement should be compensated for by the system fairly easily.
I don't have personal experience here though, so I can't say for sure.

A .030 overbore is not going to upset the computer. It probably won't even notice.

I'll have the heads checked, but if they're crack free I'm going to re-use them.
As far as the cam change idea, nothing aggressive, but a 'little' more power would be nice, but again, I would like a small increase without upsetting the computer. Ideas?

PCMs are designed to compensate, I think it would take a LOT to make the fuel trim go so far that it sets a code. You’d think clogged injectors would cause this problem and it usually ended up with a misfire before a fuel trim code.

Several companies offer RV/Towing cams, that do not require custom tuning, however, for the price, you don't really get much out of them..... Think I might be more tempted to invest in some 1.7 ratio roller rockers..... computer doesn't care, and on a stock engine, it's 10hp/tq right out of the box.

I'm just guessing here. I know a bunch of people with bored engine and they all get a custom tune

That's it. My one buddy has a 1500 360 and his cylinders were out of round. It was the same to bore it out as it was to fix it. I even helped him put everything back together. It could be overkill I'm unsure. Hell I've been wrong before
