First things i would suggest buying heads first then getting a cam to compliment your heads. Buying a cam now on stock heads leaves you out to dry when you upgrade.

edelbrock has some cheap aluminum heads. they dont flow too well, but perform for the money.

Custom grind cams are really great too.

I guess it's a good thing I was browsing in here as I noticed my name was mentioned. I did have a stupid fun 305 TBI back in the day that too be honest, I was just scratching the surface with that build. Here's what I did....

Mildly worked ZZ4 heads with a ZZ4 cam with 1.5 rockers on the intake and 1.6 rockers on the exhaust
port matched RPM intake with a trans-dapt plate and a ported stock TBI unit with an xtremefi adjustable regulator along with 55lb flow matched injectors. I was running the Hooker 2055 headers with an full 3 inch Aerochamber catback. All of this was tuned by the EBL FLASH using a Zeitronix ZT2 wideband run in open loop. It was a damn fun build that put the hurt on many cars. I plan on copying this again sometime later
