you will have to go carb no GM TBI stock from a truck will work with a big cam or any cam more stock cam .i have built tbi 355s and they had stock cams or custom very small roller cams so the map will work. the chip will not help much in this its the map that will go nuts with low vacuum and idle will be very poor .some guys say they made it work? i know many that could not

I am putting it into a 1993 gmc sierra regualar cab long box 2wd. It currently has a 305 in it and its gutless. I got a 350ci tbi out of a 1994 pickup. The block is at the machine shop right now getting bored out to a 355ci. I am hoping to be around the 400 hp range due to that i know that the computer will not be able to handle that and the 2 injectors wont be able to keep up with my AFR 195 heads. So i would like to know what cam will go best with that motor in my truck im looking for something lumpy to run in it. On top of that i was thinking that switching to a carb is probably my best bet right? As well, I have an edlebrock fuel system to run with it.
