Engine Problems/MAP sensor ?

Hey, Im a friend of Daves posting here, I just fixed a small ignition problem, and had a few other questions (btw, it was just some loose connections)

-The rebuilder put in a camshaft out of a 350, now i beleive this is causing some un-nessisary flooding because of the loss in vacuum (the MAP sensor detects a loss in manifold vacuum, thinks the throttle is wide open or open more than it should be, hence it adding more gas)
>> is this plausible or does the EPROM (or whatever the computer is) rely on inputs from the TPS and the MAP before adding more fuel?

Any other suggestions as to why it may be idleling rough / flooding are appreciated (asides from the lumpy cam theory)

One more thing, the car is 'putting' at a steady rate throughout the RPM band, no immediate causes other than perhaps bad timing come to mind...so toss out a few suggestions if you can, the puts are probably at 1/3 second intervals at 1000rpm

Thanks

G
