Default gain LOW END power?

Just curious how you could do this. If cams lower your low end power, and adding a blower will have the same effect (harder to get the motor moving because of the S/C, but once its speeds up its good), what are some ways of improving low end power? or is it just a "trade off" that you have to take? would that be things like "a/c delete", "electric water pump", etc? (moving stuff off the crank)

Just some food for thought.

You're not driving a truck there guy. If you want low end Tq you're gonna have to give up "Usable" High end Hp. 4.30's or a 5.4 are the only way. Other than that, I set my tires a blaze in first, second and third, I've got plenty of low end tq. lol

25mph was my sweet spot on roll races that sent me forward like a rocket.

+1 nerd. if your drag racin your prob launching at 3000+ and we shift in the high rpms so i wouldnt be too worried about it. your 4.10's make up for it pretty well
