73 390 Cam

What is the maximum lift, duration and lobe seperation that I should consider for a truck that I want plenty of torque and good bottom/mid improvements as compared to the stock setup. I do not mind a little bit of a loping idle. I do not plan to turn more than 5500 rpm or so. At what lift would the stock rocker arms, and springs start failing?

I have plans to install an Edelbrock Performer intake (currently 2 barrel) and 600 cfm carb.

Also, does the pertronix require an MSD box or anything other than the pertronix insert for the distributor. Will this allow me to get rid of the springs and weighted plates in the distributor? Does it have an adjustable vacuum advance or how will I know the advance is optimized?

Any help on cam lifts and pertronix is appreciated.
