Cam with speed density

So iv got a 89 f150 that I'm puttin a new motor in. It's a 302 roller motor with stock gt40p heads and I'm lookin at adding a small speed density friendly cam. The cam I'm lookin at is a xe264hr from comp cams. Here are the specs

Rpm range:1500-5500
Valve timing:0.006
Lobe separation:112*
Intake centerline:108*
Valve lash intake:hyd-exaughst:hyd
Duration intake:264-exaughst:270
Duration @.050 lift intake:212 exaughst:218
Valve lift intake:0.544 exauhst:0.544
Lobe lift intake:0.321 exauhst:0.321

Will this work for what I need? With stock gt40p heads?

Lots to read.

112 lobe separation is the limit. 114 lsa is more ideal for sd of our trucks. If you had a maf truck, the 112 may work ok. Your vacuum signal to the map sensor will pulsate, which you can sometimes get away with putting a restrictor inline with a fuel filter as a buffer, but you're just tricking it.
Cold starts will be the biggest issue. Once it's warm it will run better.

I suggest searching and reading. Lots of good info because this topic has been beaten to death over and over.
