What type/kind of cam would I need to add to my 5.2 for faster quarter runs?
What do I need to do to have a stronger gear shift instead of the stall that I have now with the factory setup?

More duration and more lift. It'll move the power band up and get more air in. Make sure you've got intake and exhaust to help out your cam.

TransGo shift kit for firmer, quicker shifts, as well as longer tranny life. Higher stall converter will require a converter swap. Adjust the throttle kickdown lever to delay upshifts and firm them up a bit even without the tranny kit. Even the CompCams 254HR-12 would pep things up, but you will need better valve springs. The 262HR-14 is listed as a performance cam for 318 Magnum. May need computer mods. The 264HR-12 is a bit hotter, but you'd definitely need computer mods for that one.
