You want a dual pattern cam, like the TFS-1 cam. I like the cam. It sounds good and makes good power. My computer at first did not like it. But after a couple of starts, the car idled great. I improved the quality of the cam with the Tweecer R/T(but you do not have a tuner). Overall, it's worked well with my set-up. The Steeda 19 is supposed to work well with our computers, but it does cost more. I would get new injectors. Summit is selling their brand of injector(24lb, 30lb) for $198 NEW. The stock injectors will hit 90-100% duty cycle at around 280rwhp. You want to be below 80%.

One cool thing about the Tweecer, is it's got a huge support network. You can get other people's tunes that similar to yours and you can modify it. I got my SC tune from a guy in Louisiana. I just modified it to my liking and did not spend a lot of time on it, because his combo was identical to mine. And if you do screw a tune up, you've got four more tunes to work on, on top of your 'stock' tune. It's pretty cool.

Once you get past the reading part, then tuning becomes easy, if not addicting. The PMS is "supposedly" easier to work with. But I couldn't justify the cost. Plus I am an auto and the PMS will not work with automatics for our years(AODE). If you do go the Tweecer route in the future, pm me and I can get you some tunes to work with, considering our mods are similar(I'll send you my non-supercharged tunes).
