Trickflow Stg-1 cam. It's cheap, sounds good, and my car had barely any idle problems with our "sensitive" computer. BTW, I thought you were selling your car.

Cams are hit or miss, sometimes the car runs great sometimes it just sucks hardcore.

Steeda #19 or Crane 2031 are my two suggestions, i don't know too many cams but both of those are computer compatible, how aggressive do you want to get with it?

Well GT40 heads aren't that big so you probably shouldn't go with too aggressive of a cam. Also are you upgrading the valve springs on the GT40 heads?

Ha! I know what you mean man! You will like the sound the Trickflow Stg-1 makes, especially with the Flows. I ran it with A Bassani off-road X and Flows and at idle it sounded great. I know I have clips of it somewhere. If I find any, I will PM them to you.
