5.0 tpi to 5.7 swap

Does anyone know if a 1987-1995 350 TBI engine will run properly if installed in my 1991 Z28 which is currently a 5.0 TPI. I want to keep the TPI setup, but I'm not sure if the speed density system would allow the engine to run properly. I know I might have to change the injectors, and prom chip, which is not a problem. Will the stock TBI cam effect this setup? Please help I don't know much about TPI MAP systems.

Put a 350 TPI engine in it, put in 22 lb injectors, change the knock sensor and module to 350 pieces, put in a 350 TPI PROM, and it will run just fine.
