I've seen that longer exhaust duration is a better cam for these engines.
The longer exhaust duration will purge the engine cylinder and will make more room for more air and fuel.

The 265 / 265 duration makes for a good RV cam with low RPM range torque.

What is the cam brand, and part number.

Late post here but I had a 268H Comp cam in my 76 w/390 and it pulled like gangbusters. Benefits of a nice lope during idle as well.
