From my experience with cams over the years, they (cam designers) stopped making high lift peaky cams with short duration which was ok but no where as good as a low lift , but higher than stock tho having a wide duration angle will create more power with less wear on lobes etc, you don't need heavy springs either.
With your motor stalling above idle is possibly the carbs not tuned or cam timing not set. Disconnect the vac line if it's still connected. A stock Pinto can run on twin 40s without much drama, it's all in tuning and dyno for best running. Fuel pressure regulator set at about 3-6psi , not critical..I ran twin 40s with a factory mechanical pump without regular for years had about 150bhp (116kw)at wheels
