Default Opinions Please?...

So I have the cam in sig along with my mods in sig. I love how it sounds. It sometimes leaves something to be desired in the stoplight manners/ surging dept. But overall a strong runner. I went from a stalled A4 to an M6 swap, so now that I have the M6 I start to notice it feels sort of "lame" below 3,000-3,500 RPMs. Maybe its just me now that the car doesnt flash to 4,000 I actually feel the low rpm lug...

My question is, should I step down cam size, or will I be sorry? I love the way it pulls up top, but it feels lacking in the low end even with 4.30s!! Any advice?..What to change or add to really pick up my low to mid range?...I used to have an SVT Lightning running 15psi, and I loved that down low assault on the tires. Maybe I just cant get that in an LS1?...
