I have the tsp 235 229 cam with a 3200 stall the top end is insane mid range is good to me the cam seems good all the way around . Tq peaks at 5500 hp peaks at 6500-6700 I shift at 6800 rpm.

I have a BTR Stage 1 PD cam and a ADM LSA supercharger setup. It is very well mannered with a bit of rumble at idle. When I stand on it I have plenty of power. I'm running 8psi of boost.

If it was me and I primarily wanted low-end and mid-range torque, I'd leave the engine alone and install more gear.....like some 3.42's or even 3.73's.

But that's just me.

I just put a BTR Stage 3 in (kit from JDP Motorsports). Had Lingenfelter install and tune. Had them keep the tune mild. There is the key! The thump is nice, the torque is amazing, gained 50 hp. Car is still very drivable and well mannered. Was in traffic in Ann Arbor on way home...no problem! Just fun watching all the hesds turn as you idle up next to them with a nice choppy exhaust sound. LOL Jordan at JDP advised me to stay stage 3 when I inquired about going stage 2. Glad I stayed with a 3.
