Vortec Cam advice

Building a 350 vortec engine and will be converting it to TBI. Looking for a few roller cam choices where i DONT have to have the heads machined and that will work with the computer. Any ideas would be great and thanks.

Bigger on the exh side to help with the puny ports and within lift specs for stock springs. The LSA is wide for EGR "effect" and is negligible with such weak sauce lift/duration. Will probably idle at 20" which will greatly please your ecm. Torque-o-rama.
