Marine 460's?

Hello. I have a Kodiac Marine 460, 345 HP engine in my 78 f250 crew cab 4x. It feels a little light on power and is properly turned. I am looking for opinions on the Marine engine in general and any cam change recomendations. Also, is there any head work I should do to gain more twist? The rest of the build is all good stuff. Jacobs ignition, Stealth intake, Edelbrock 750, and L&L headers. It's an auto with 4.10's and 35" tires. Any info will be appreciated.

How do they have the dizzy curved. Most marine units I've seen are curved completely difference than a street unit.

aaccel distributor

Is the dizzy the distributor? It is an Accel electronic working with the Jacobs box and coil. No clue regarding set up.

Dizzy = distributor. Sorry 'bout that. I sometimes forget that my terminology can be a bit cryptic.
