Roller is one type of lifter and flat tappet is another different type .
What they mean buy "computer controlled" is you can only use certain specification cams in cars with engine computers without major changes to the computer tuning.

Is your cam bad? The lb9 tbi 305 has a very restrictive set of heads and intake. Going more radical with the cam is not that much of an improvement and can sure make a mess of the computer engine control deal. Have you done the common bolts ons? Headers, exhaust, maybe improve the rear gearing?
