looking for more torque.

Just installed a comp cam 581/588 224/228 114 lsa cam on a stock LS-1 with 10 psi from an A&A V-2. Dyno numbers are 570 HP and 452 Tq. do you guys think the torque is low and if so what can i do to raise it.

How does the car feel? Have you ran it at the track? Why do you want more TARK?

I think its more important where that tq is. Post up a graph, or atleast tq values in 1000 or 500 rpm increments. ..

Does the car have headers? If so then those torque numbers are low for 10 psi. Should be at least 50-90 ft lbs higher.

Needs a smaller pulley and more timing.
