Which heads & Cam?

I am probably going to get a holly stealth ram intake for my 350 TPI engine, and I am wondering which set of heads and cam would best fit this intake?

I DO NOT want a super drag car than cannot be driven every day, I would like a decent driving car, (maybe low 13's or high 12's? ) that doesn't get lower than 10 MPG (I get about 11 right now, and I probably need a tune up).

A friend of mine was telling me that the Edelbrock performer RPM heads were good (for about $485 each), I'll keep my relativly new 1.6 roller rockers. He also mentioned that a Hot Cam would be good, and that there is a GM 305 cam that would be more radical than the hot cam.

I do have a Heavy Duty torque converter, and a stronger built 700r4, so I'm not worried about those, I'll guess I'll need to find out what the stall is on my converter? It is a bit higher than stock (as I was told...), but probably not a whole lot.

I don't know much about Cams, I just know that I want something with more power, a somewhat choppy idle (I love that sound!), and something that won't suck gas like a toilet during normal driving. (I don't care what the MPG is when I am at the track or at full throttle)

I have edelbrock headers, and I assume that if I get the edelbrock heads, I won't need to get new headers?

Thanks guys!! Much appreciated!
