Default Looking for some opinions on a better cam for my setup

Here's the setup:
Street car with 4:56 gears, 6 speed
Weighs in at 4000 lbs with driver
Stock bottom end, flycut pistons for current setup
MS3 cam
PRC stage 2.5 5.3l heads. i believe they are 2.04/1.575 valves
kook 1 7/8 headers
ls6 intake
full bolt ons
OLSD tune

car made 450/400 at the wheels in it's current setup.

Car has great top end rpm pull 4500-7000
It sucks for anything below 4500. I have been able to get it better with more fuel in the low torque area, but it just isn't good enough

I want a cam that is tire blistering off idle without too much sacrifice up top. I would be more than happy to shift at 6500 instead of 6900.

I really miss the torque of the smaller cams like the TR224.

Recommend me a cam that would make great low end torque, without "too much" loss at peak. I'd give up 10-15 peak for some really good torque in the 2000-4000 range

Thanks

Need more details... what head gaskets are you running, what LSA does your cam have and what ICL are you running. Have you calculated your DCR? If so what is it?
