I would suggest you hook up a big analog vacuum gauge (big 4" ones I found to be more stable and reliable than those pesky 2" ones where the needle never stops jumping around) to your intake manifold and hunt around for better vacuum that cam should pull more than 15". 19-21 would rock your world

you'll need to mess with the idle mixture screws a bit and the idle speed screw a bit and go back and forth and back and forth

don't mean to insult your intelligence or micromanage you at all, I type and share a lot of detail in case others are reading this thread and I don't want to assume or insult anybody because I sense you know a lot already

just take your time and always ONLY CHANGE ONE THING AT A TIME and test
