If you look at 3000 rpms and above the engine is making 50 to 100 lbs-ft more than stock. Even though it don't show under 3000 rpm for modified is't more than likely making over stock or at least stock torque numbers and under 2000 rpm even a factory stall will cover.

@318willrun has shown at the track a cam will work on low cr with stock stall and gears and picks up e.t., check his stuff on here and youtube.

Plus torque makes less hp at lower rpms. so it's less sensitive to loss/gain of tq. hp % of torque at 2500 rpm is 47.5% and 2000 rpm is 38% and 1500 rpm is 28.5%. so 3-5hp for every 10lbs-ft.
