A query for the list:

(Hey -- stop with the "queerie" jokes already.  This is serious.)

I've got a '73 GT6 in pretty nice shape, to which I've made some simple
mods; elec. ignition, electric fan, panasports, etc.  It's also got the
tall "touring" diff gear, which drives me nuts, because it robs so much
low end power from the car.

I know the solution to this is get the lower diff and O/D gearbox, but
let's pretend that's not an option.

I like low end torque.  Can changing out the cam make a significant
difference in boosting the low end?  My poor understanding of cams is
that you usually change them out to boost the high end, not the low, but
I was wondering.
