I don't know about any from Comp Cams (althougth I know there are some), but there are lots of cams you can run in a 305 TPI motor. You can look into the LT1 and LT4 production cams, they are good ones for a 305, assuming you have some exhaust and intake mods. My friend is running the smaller of the 2 SLP Cams sold in Summit in his 89 IROC, and has had great success with it, even though its close to $400. I wouldn't do a cam swap unless you have a cat-back system and a set of headers at the very least, but thats just my 2 cents!
