Those cams are still not good: the first is about the same as a stock one, while the second is massively, impossibly huge for an otherwise stock (heads intake & pistons) 305 TBI with an exhaust.

Do you not have a roller setup? If so, you would be far better off as far as performance to get a roller cam and re-use your existing roller lifters. You should be able to keep your pushrods too. Definitely follow the cam mfrs. valave spring recommendations, and roller-tip rockers would be worthwhile too. Doing that, here is the cam I would suggest as the outer limit of what you should try to use:

You might want to consider giving Comp a call on their tech line, and seeing what they have to say. I believe they will tell you that even the cam I picked is too much for your car.

Good luck! I know it can be a bit confusing, I'm glad to pass along what little I can.

Actually that first one is Way better than stock believe it or not. The lobe sep is 115degrees stock VS 112 and the duration is 179/194 or something similar VS 194/214. You would see about 25HP on a stock engine, with exhaust and intake mods you could see as much as 35HP with that cam. Yes that cam is mild but way better than stock. I'd go 204/214 so you wouldn't lose too much low end.
