Default Cam info needed

Hey everyone i am looking into getting a cam for my 89 5.0. does anyone have any links or info where i can read what would be best for my car? its a stock motor with headers, underdrive pulleys, flowmasters, and 3.55's. i need information on installing it too. ive never installed one before so would it be best that i take it somewhere and have it done or could i do it myself? thanks.
