My first engine build 455 with 6X heads and a qjet. It was built without the cam being degreed. It was exactly like you say, lazy off the line.
I had the engine redone because of bearing failure and this time the builder made sure the cam was degreed. Completely different engine off the line. Yes, also your timing has to be setup correctly. I believe my initial was at 16 degrees.

Thanks, I am going to a shop today near me to discuss the cost of getting the cam degreed. Would you do anything to the heads, intake or carb? I have the opportunity to swap my quadrajet which is is 750cfm with a fully rebuilt 800cfm with electric choke. He said he can modify it to my iron intake choke system if needed. I do not know about quadrajets at all, so I am not sure. I was thinking maybe degree the cam, get a RPM manifold and a holley that I can adjust myself.
