Your cam choice doesn't really help you out there...

It's got more power down low than my 216/220 did. Just because it's bigger doesn't mean it lost power in lower RPMs.

nope, but I went from a all custom built Camaro SS that I turboed (600/600 at the wheels) to my truck. Its my DD so it has to stay what it is.. mostly stick.

If I could do it all over again I'd throw in a Ls6 cam, turbo, and 80e.

Bolted/Cammed 5.3 just doesn't get the job done.
