I hope so.

I should probably explain myself, and my results.  I got the cam specs for just about every aftermarket cam made, and made a cam file in Desktop Dyno, where I have my exact engine setup saved.  I changed cams back and forth between what I am currently running, and all other options, finding that with my specific setup (according to the DD, mind you) that I could not get as much torque as low in the powerband as I currently have.  I could get more HP or more torque, but it always fell higher in the RPM range.  I did notice, however, that if I changed the cam timing (ie, adjustable cam gear) I could get a torque boost all the way from idle. So I went with an LC cam gear.
