A 383 will take a bigger cam in stride, and should be a lot more friendly in the "running with no tuning" department.
If you just want the car to idle and make it to your tuner, then back out the idle adjustment screw a little so you raise the idle a bit. Not sure the size/type of head thats on it, but would assume its a hex (again, not sure, havent looked for awhile).
But definitely get it tuned, or else even with that small cam its still going to run like crap.
