Cam I suggest is the Crane 444232 with 24lb injectors, and yes all this is going to cause issues with the computer... it won't be able to manage it. So you're going to need to convert to mass air and get a tuner or use a aftermarket EFI system.

That is a lot of motor to just tow. For towing the switch to mass air will do a lot to improve mileage and part throttle drivability.
But a lot can be done within the stock parameters. A mild cam, a little more compression with bigger valves in the head. And there is as much to gain in your drivetrain as there is in your motor. Transmission, converter, driveshaft and gearing.

The key to making a speed density computer happy is the cam, as long as you get a compatible cam you will be alright, and the mass air with a good computer will make a big difference in its own right.
