Not only do you have to modify the computer, but to take full advantage of the cam, you should really have some head work done too, as in, new valves/rockers/lifters/springs.

When was a small block 396 made? There was a small block 400. Stock springs will work with up to a .480 lift, I believe. I was going to get this cam, but decided not to, as I don't have the money for it and a chip right now.

Good point; I have absolutely no idea why I said 396, haha. I think I meant 400, but have no clue, I was exhausted when posting that. But yeah, check out some 400 heads; they'll allow for higher flow. I'm not sure whether or not you would need new valves/etc or swapping them out, etc.

i might just add to the heads ill have,
unless i can find some on the cheap
i just realized that they are 350+ each lol
but yea that cam kit is actually not a bad deal
Camshaft
Lifters
Matched valve springs
Valve Spring retainers
Valve locks
Valve stem seals
Timing chain set
Assembly lube
Decals
Instructions
it includes all that for 355
i am also looking into freein up a few horses with headers, edelbrock performer 3704 TBI intake, high flow cats, and a k and n air filter
2200 stall, btw how do you change the stall, an underdrive pulley kit, open element filter,

That cam was under $300 and it comes with all that? Not bad at all man. The intake and headers will help out some, along with the HF Cats; and if you go with a K&N Air filter, check out the K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit.
