Chevy 350 performance cam

When I got my Cruiser, it had a cam simular in numbers to the Edelbrock in it. Here's what I can tell you based on MY exp. suggestions, comments, ideas, past problems, past projects that turned out well? Let'm rip. these are fairly mild cams? Maybe a bit more aggressive then an old school 'RV Cam', but certainly not enough to create a loping idle that would suck in crawling situations. * Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.420 int./0.442 exh. * Duration at 050 inch Lift 204 int./214 exh. Last is a run-of-the mill from Edelbrock. Second is the suggestion I got from calling Lunati cams. First, is what I _think_ my stock cam is. but they are in the process of being bankrupt, sold, and reopening. I want the most power, best economy, smooth idle that I can get. but I only know enough about cams' numbers to confuse myself. From what I understand, the stock cam in this motor is pathetic. I want to get some more horsies out of this engine. Someday, I plan to swap a diesel, but in the meantime. The truck crawls just fine (NV4500->Orion), but getting up the hills on the freeway is embarrassing. Running a Performer intake with Quadrajunk on top. I have a FJ46 (extra-cab, flat bed, SOA, NV4500, Orion, 4.11's, 35's, probably weighs 4800lbs) with a stock GM Goodwrench 350. Funny, I'd have thought this had been discussed.
