The blue smoke on start up is because of worn valve seals, not too difficult of a fix. Not just 305 specific. Parts are about $20. Search on how the it's done, many posts.

Off the shelf ships are junk, mostly. They may give you a little more in the butt o meter, basically just add more fuel maybe a bit more spark. But may actually make your car slower. The only proper way is to do a chip yourself and do datalogs. See the DIY Prom board. For the money spent you would be much better putting it towards equipment to burn your own chips or something like headers.
