That is a terrible cam for your application.

The Edelbrock Performer RPM camshaft is ground on 108 degree lobe centers. It will have almost no vacuum at idle. It will not work with a stock torque converter. It will not work with power brakes. It needs at least 10:1 compression, you will likely have less than that.

You should get a cam ground on at least 110 degree lobe centers and plan on using at least a 2500 RPM stall speed torque converter and a transmission cooler.
