Yea your car will benefit from a decent prom. The best way is to do your own, and its not really that difficult to do.

especially being a speed density car. A MAF car will be more forgiving since it's actually measuring the incoming air to the engine. a speed density (MAP) car uses the vacuum signal from the engine to compute fuel and ignition maps. By changing the cam you totally changed the vacuum characteristics of the motor so you are probably way out of tune. contact someone like Car Pro, AS&M or Ed Wright and get a custom chip.
