Jim's right though, not too much cam, just consider a different one. Lunati makes some nice Flat tappet designs as well as others. Take your time. It's easier to replace a manifold if it isn't right, it's a lot more of a hassle to change the cam.
Don't forget to degree it as well. Jim has a good video explaining this.

Thanks for the all advice guys. Ok so i already got the edelbrock performer rpm camshaft and installed it but never ran the car. Would i still be able to send it back to summit for a different camshaft or no?
