Default help modding my 400ci small block

hi guys I just got my 400ci small block in my 79 rebuilt....pretty much made the car brand new. what can i do to bump up the power a decent amount... it use to have aluminum heads, i took those out. and i put a mild cam in it. im just trying to get this car to about an 11 sec car or less and I wanted to know if this engine is good for it and what do you guys suggest.?

thanks
