I have a Renix based stroker. I like it, but feel it lacks bottom end punch. Seems it really comes alive at 2800, which is too high for me. Maybe I'm just asking too much from too small a motor, but I'd like a bit more on the bottom. Problem is, I cruise around on the highway at 3,000 RPM, and it gets 17 mpg fully loaded on 35's. ~5,000 lbs
So, did I chosse the wrong cam? I don't mind spending a weekend switching it if there is something that will give me similar highway performance, but gets me better bottom end. Also, I have an adjustable cam gear, and I suppose I could move it 4 degrees or so for a little more bottom?
This is what I have in my Jeep:

This is the popular Crane cam:

More lift and longer duration on the crane, which seems opposite of what I need for bottom end gains. Yet everyone says they like that crane cam a whole bunch. :huh:
