Unhappy I Dynoed my car yesterday and my TQ is very low. “TRak Cam”

I Dynoed my car yesterday and my TQ is very low. “TRak Cam”

I'm happy with the HP but, I wish my TQ was a little higher….Is it common for this cam to have such low TQ?? Should I look at a different cam all together? I will be spraying the car but I would like my numbers to be a little better.

At the end all that matters is what it does at the track, I just hate to see my Tq #'s so damn low. 385 Tq

My list of mods are below for the ones asking what it has…
|Vigilante Multi-Disc 4000 Stall|373Gears|PRC Stage 2.5 - 5.3 heads|Fast 90/90|EVO green top 42lb injectors|UD Pulley|TRak Cam 231/234.640/.590 112 LSA|

388hp was Cam only & LS6 intake.
419hp was with all my mods but the converter wasn't locked.
461hp was with the converter locked.

I will have my nitrous numbers up in a week or so.

I wouldn't worry about it one bit unless it underperforms at the track.

I'm going to take it to the track next week so we will see how it does. If everything goes as planned I should be into the 9's

3240 Raceweight.... Might be able to shave a little bit more.

I don't have the TRex cam... I have the TRak Cam 231/234.640/.590 112 LSA

But I see what your saying though.

i just have H/C/I and just thought it should have been better... But I will take it out to the track next weekend and see how it does.
