351w cam

hey guys, first time posting in the small block group. feels pretty good.
im putting a 351w into my 95 backed by a zf5. the motor is out of my 89 f150. it is bored .030 over with complete overhaul less than 20,000 miles ago. I have headers and am running true duals with a h or x pipe (havent decided yet) and cherry bomb glass packs that bolt to the headers. 3" all the way. I am putting a cam in, but am having problems finding a computer friendly cam. the only one i have found is the crane 444232. does anyone have expierence with this cam, or know of any others that will work? sorry for the long post, but wanted to go into as much detail as possible.
thanks in advance

What does "computer friendly" mean? :)

Means it gets along with the original
"Speed Density" computer, or what? :)

crane 444232 is good and i dont remember the number for it but comp has a cam with almost the exact specs as the crane. just look up the crane and write down the specs and match the comp to it. or call comp

The intake won't affect the computer it's mainly the cam that does and that one won't cause any problems.
