351 Cam Swap

Hi, I'm looking at replacing my cam on my 1995 F250 351W motor. The truck has speed density EFI, I'm looking for something that to add more low end power while still being EFI friendly. I'm hopping to get the motor to at least 250HP. If that is even possible which cam should I be looking at? thanks

Do a search for some threads on the same topic, there are a couple cams I'm always suggesting.

Crane Cam 444232. That's the best off the shelf grind for these motors

I don't think that Cam will work, the motor has roller rockers not hydraulic flat tappet.

The rockers have nothing to do with a roller vs flat tappet camshaft. A 93 motor is flat tappet.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the truck is a 93 but the motor is out of a 95 so it has rollers
