The specs for the 37's are different from mine.

Beehive springs in '05 and later heads might accomodate a .590" lift cam but I would be concerned about coil bind at that lift. You might want a bit more spring pressure but the stock beehives would be OK. To be safe, .570" lift is about the max I would go on stock beehive springs but that's just me.

Another bolt in option that has not been mentioned is the SE204 installed with a 4* advance gear/sprocket. The 204 has a similar profile to the TW37 which is probably one of the best "all around" cams on the market for a 95" motor with headwork.

The Wood 6 cam, set @ 10.25-3 cr, with a set of heads that move 155 cfm @ 10" @ .600 lift, in most engines from 95" to 107" is a home run, for most folks.

Do yourself a favor and go with the upgrade chain kit. I am with Kuma, call John "Herko" at Flying W. He is a great guy. I do business with him regularly. His kit is the most complete I have seen, and very good price. Includes your choice of andrews N cams. You will be happy.
However, most all aftermarket cams will like a little more compression than your 88 has. Consider correcting compression to recomended level of the cam you choose. And heck, you already have the heads of so you might as well let some chips fly.

Funny ... since you said that, I just checked the intallation instruction sheet for my Andrews TW37B ... there is a table on the reverse side ....

Below shows data from the Nightrider table I originally posted with the data from Andrews in the lower part of the table .... Only thing is that the Andrews data is for Twin cam 88 Silent Chain Drive camshafts ... timing and duration listed for .053 cam lift (although I understood that was the convention) ....
