Default cams with awesome Torque and good mid-upper range?

i can find a couple good threads over the Trex, MS3, FM14, and G5x2... but most of them is talking about the highest HP.. i would like insight of which one of these mentioned above cam (OR any other good cam) would have good torque and also have good mid-upper HP since i do alot of street driving and autoX. Dont get me wrong i love high HP, but im curious to know what good cams are out there for strong powerband with torque more than 400 rwtq.
(And be somewhat streetable)

also, i am not going to run nitrous. I have mostly all of the bolt-ons

i and a friend of mine, we just finished a custom set of LS1 ported heads and here are the flow numbers..

...............2........3.........4.........5..... .....6.........7
intake:....113.....172......226......264......286. .....290
exhaust:..92......143......178......206......222.. ....225

in advance, thanks for any advice!

Most of the big cams give nice peak numbers but tend to sacrifice a lot in the midrange. You will be better off with a slightly smaller cam that sacrifices a little up top but maintains the midrange power (vs a larger cam).

If you havent seen it yet check out Patricks thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/481382-torque-coming-out-my-ears-cam-change.html
