Get a good aftermarket double roller with 3 keyways. Degree the cam and set it to 0 deg. In order to get the most performance out of your motor you should seriously consider tailoring the advance curve in the distributor.

Assuming you haven't changed anything else other than what you have mentioned, detonation or ping should not be an issue. Changing to the different timing set won't affect when the spark fires, that is done at the distributor.
