Unhappy HELP ! for a cam dumby

I don't know why, but I just can not understand the calculations that go into cams.
So I'm not going to try!
Can someone help me in predicting what this engine is going to run like with this cam ?
Duration @ .050 224 IN 233 EX
Duration @.006 270 IN 285 EX
Lobe lift .3180 IN .3065 EX
Separation 110
Gross lift .509 IN .490 EX
Degree IN lobe to 109
1970 Cutlass 455 9.5 compression stock exhaust edelbrock 750.
I need the smooth idle (I have a wife), but I don't want this to be a dog.
This is a new cam and it will replace a Mondello JM 20-22 that is terrible.
Can this cam give the smooth idle or do I need to buy ANOTHER one???
