I think we are just getting confused by how we describe it.

To me, when someone says low end power, it's torque under 3500 to 4000 rpm. Above that is midrange and then top end. Low end power is a combination of a lot of things, but typically tyoundont increase low end power with a higher performance cam, and heads don't do as much as they don't need the extra flow.

I think what your describing is more like, power at lower speeds? Like around town, you really notice the extra hp? If so, I would agree with that. The little bit of extra rpm the LT4 gains makes a big difference too, just being able to hold a gear a little longer pays dividends on the street, as well as track.
