So were our tunes. I guarantee it.

BTW.. my trq before the cams, headers, and tune was right about 300.
After? 316.8

What did you already have that put your TQ at 300 before those mods? And please remember, I'm talking about LOW RPMS.

Before those mods I had CAI and UDP's and a tune from a different place.
The UDP's were removed before the cams were put in though.

The dyno was done at the same place though before and after the cam install and tune they gave me. Tune differences on these cars can make a BIG difference!

So was the 300TQ your peak number?

Yes it was my peak.
But I loss no low end either.

If the cams caused me to lose any low end it was minimal and again the new tune made up for it and the end result
was no loss in low end and an actual gain.

That's my point. The loss of trq with these cams is so minimal that a good tune can make make up for it.

Still not understanding why sub 2K RPMs would be important to anyone buying FRPP cams. lol
I say OP gets them and drives it like he stole it!

sub 3k is important to me. Probably because I'm an auto. At what RPM are you manual guys engaging on the street?
