With NA m6 cars & no auto flashes? Sure, 'round 5k... ~230deg int duration.. shorties... 3" catback...

Not too difficult, though peak anything isnt what I worry about really. Not too hard to do if everything is in order

Yes its possible, there are a fair number of people in the 370s, but I believe 380 can be done expecially if you have that wonderfull Texas gas to work with. My car was making AWESOME off idle torque but I had random ping and could not dial it out with 91 MTBE Crapifornian stuff, so I had some power loss to deal with, although mostly in the 1400 and under powerband. With some tolulene experimentation though it was awesome, I wonder what peak torque would have been with that stuff.

just want a setup that will make the most TQ possible between 3800-5000 rpms. this is in a auto, im sure this is the rpms i will be spending 50% or more in.

I'm pushing 515rwhp and 476rwtq on a stock bottom end with heads, cam, intake, and a Vortech S-trim. It can be easily done.

don't worry as much about where the peak torque falls. how flat is is will get you to the end of the track quicker.

why are you looking for a torque peak below 4k rpm? in that case you should stay with milder camshaft grinds with less than 220º at .050.

i made a little better than 460 hp at the rear wheels with a 355. torque peak was at about 5200 with better than 400 ft lbs from 3600 on up. cam was a solid roller, head flow was less than 260 something cfm at peak. the rpm peak was 6700 rpm.
