What cam for most low end TQ w/ stock stall for towing?
What cam would be best for low end TQ? I want to be able to tow 6K easier so low end TQ would be nice. I am keeping the stock stall because this is for the yukon family ride/tow rig, I just want as much TQ as possible between 1700-2200rpms. I dont really care how it performs up top. Thats one thing I miss about those old vortech 350's was it had tons of low end TQ.

I liked the 2k vette cam 198 207 500 500 115.5, I pulled 2.15 60' with it on a stock converter. it also went 13.67 in the 1/4 here is the dyno graph of the cam. with bolt-ons

any cam is gonna loose some low end... Vinci has a 200/208 TQ cam... that should be the same as stock idle but have more towing power. The biggest i would go is a 206/212 114
do you want lopey sound also? If so go with a 112 lsa on a 206/212
i had a 00 vette cam, but decided it wasnt worth the time to install. I have a 210/218 114 now, but i wouldnt reccomend that for towing big loads

The "old man" cam may be something to look at I guess. Maybe a custom grind 210/212 112LSA with .600/.600 would be cool too.
I just wish I knew what type of lobe/lift makes more low end TQ vs. top end power.
