You really have to give her some rpm's so she doesn't die on take off. Granted it's a bit drastic with the highway gears but still. Come on.  |
I’m sure Brian Tooley probably has a little to do with that... assuming you didn’t go with a truck cam, a lot of those BTR cams make a lot more mid and high range power in my observation at least. I know that’s how it is with the LS3/L99 cams... tons of valve lift and lots of duration and overlap. Not ideal for low end torque to say the least.
