305 cam lope

Hey yall,
I'm wondering if there is a cam with decent lope to it that I can put in my 92 rs 305 that I'm doing a TPI swap on? I understand the vacuum issue involved that's why I'm looking for one that doesn't loose much vacuum. The TPI setup I'm going with is a Mass Air one so it's a little more forgiving. Ultimately, I'm after the lope more than anything, I also only want to change the cam, nothing else. If I'm dreamin' let me know! Thanks!

if you have a lopey cam with a TPI motor, it'll run VERY poorly. TPI is meant to operate well at low RPM, a lopey cam is the opposite. So you end up with the worst of both worlds
The cam jamon mentioned would work great, but won't lope.
