Did I not just spell it out for you?

Frank I have definitely noticed that most performance mods for these trucks seem designed to give more high rpm power. Are there any to enhance low end torque? and which would help my fuel econ more?

Offset cam keys and RV cam grinds come to mind first.

As an example, I am under the impression that as far as exhaust, long tube headers enhance high rpm power at the expense of low end torque while shorties do the opposite. Is that correct?

Bass-ackwards!
