Answer
I'm sorry, but I really don't know anything about go-fast equipment.  Try to find a chevy car club and ask them.  If you can find one near you, join it and you can have a lot more fun with your car and get a lot of help too.  Performance cams usually cause very rough idle, but I don't understand the low vacuum.  Some valves are staying open too long.
I know Model A's, not cars like this.
Good luck.
