Is a .510 cam to much for a 350tpi?

I am building my first FI motor> I have done 5 carb swaps. I also have a question on the fuel pump. Can i keep the tank pump and put a inline pump so i can regulate fuel. I am going to start out with a regular 350 chip for car. My question other than fuel pump, will the computer be able to handle the cam. I do plan on custom makling own chip, but would like to hold off til next month and get it running. The 305 in the car is coming out and the 350 is going in. I am moving up to 24lbs accel inj., but can i leave fuel pump alone and will the cam work.

you can leave the intake pump alone ,for a street car or daily driver i don't think it'd go to .510 on the cam, but it isn't that bad either. i'm pretty sure you'll be getting into making your own proms right from the start ,i doubt if it'll run very good with the factory set up.
