camshaft selection
can you guys help me with a camshaft selection? i thinking about using this camshaft on a 350 tbi.

is this is a good cam? im looking for something that will work well with stock heads. im looking for something thats better than stock but nothing too crazy. im also going to order new lifters, a full gasket set, a new oil pump, and a new timing chain. the engine has 30K miles on it but i took it apart and found excessive oil sludge. i cleaned all that out, but i dont want to reuse an oil pump and lifters that had that kind of oil flowing through it. i also think that a new timing chain might be a good idea. if im going to put this engine in my car i want it to run properly. i do plan on using the stock fuel pump(tank removal is a pain in the ***). i looked up a tbi fuel pump for a 91 silverado for a 350 and it was the same for a 305. if that cam isnt any good, could you guys suggest one that is.
P.S.
will a edlebrock cam like this one work with a 350 tbi?

or is it to radical, it includes lifters so its a little less expensive.
