What is the lobe seperation on that cam. If it is less than 114 or 112 I think it will not build sufficient vacuum in the manifold for the MAP sensor. I believe this is the issue. If I am wrong please let me know guys.

Something with a duration in the 280s is going to have a pretty good chop anyway. A straight 280 Comp Magnum is what I have in my '79 Capri drag car and it sounds nasty at idle.

yur running too much duration for the stock chip to handle. You will need a new chip burned for your cam. You will also have to take into concideration what your compression ratio is.
The stock chip wont run cams much over 212 Dur at .050 (260 total dur)
LSA 212
Lifts up to and around 480 will work
Compression ratio up around 9.2 to 1

Crummy idle
You can run a cam with those specs, you just need a wider LSA, so your overlap isn't so much, and the engine will produce decent vaccuum. Generally, an over lap angle of 45 degrees or less is what you're shooting for. Check the spec card that came with the cam, otherwise, you'll need to get a chip burned for your PCM.
