Default Cam for rebuild question.....

I am getting ready to order the parts for the rebuild of my 85 tpi engine, the pistons will be silvolite h3437 and with the pro top heads with 170 cc ports and 67cc chambers. it works out to 9.8 c.r. the cam being considered is a comp cams with 218 duration and 444 lift, 114 centerline. My question is what will be the reaction of this set up with the stock computer and stock fuel injectors. also is this too much for the stock stall speed converter ?
thanks for your help guys.

That cam might be a little on the mild side. I'm running 224 duration .495 lift with a 112 LSA in my '86. I'm borderline with the stock converter. For stock computer the Comp cam you're looking at would work good, but if it were me I would try to find one with over .450 lift to make it worthwhile.
