Is This Possible?

So I'm refreshing a stock 318 with a new cam and a gasket set. I'm wanting a good cruiser with a little more agressive cam but with the stock converter, so I called Hughes to see what they recommend and told them exactly that. I was recommended the Whiplash but I figured a cam like that wouldn't be so user friendly with a stock stall speed, but he reassured me that it's designed for an engine like mine. Any thoughts? I was thinking I would get recommended something similar to a 340 cam but when he said Whiplash I wasn't too sure. If it'll work then I'll go for it, but I don't want to put that much effort into something I'm not sure will work.
