What Camshaft to buy?

I guys!

So I solved my oil pressure/choke light problem; it turns out that the transmission shop did pinch a wire between the transmission case and the block.

Now on to my next project, I have a new carburetor on the way for this thing, just a rebuilt stock carburetor, but I'm putting an upgraded cam and a set of headers with a three-inch single exhaust on it.

This is a stovebolt stock 305, but it runs really well, so I'm just going to improve the performance a bit, and if it ever blows up, I'll put a 350 long block in it, and then just swap the cam and lifters.

I'm thinking about this camshaft, the Comp Cams Nostalgia Plus 211/218 Hydraulic Flat Cam and Lifter Kit https://www.compcams.com/nostalgia-p...all-block.html
I'm going to replace the timing gears and chain at the same time.

Are you guys familiar with this camshaft? Do you think it will do what I want, which isn't really to make a whole lot more power, just to make the truck "sound cammed?" lol
