As far as the cam goes it is basically a Comp XE284 with 1.5 Harland Sharp rockers
The problem is not your cam! As David Jones said, your fuel pump can't keep up with the engine at full throttle. When I drove my 461 cu in '63 LeMans on the street, I had the same problem. I put two diaphram type electric pumps, back at the tank, with a switch to turn them on when needed. It completely solved the problem. The mechanical pump has no trouble pulling through a diaphram pump, but would through a vane, if it were shut off, so you don't need to run the diaphram pump, for normal driving.
