Low end torque

Are there any moderately simple ways to shift the torque curve down?

Torque peaks at somewhere around 2800 rpm on my GM inline 4, but it seems that a lower rpm for max torque would allow sooner shifts, as well as the ability to hold 5th gear longer (ex. on hills).

I am familiar with the camshaft mod on the 65+ mods list, but that is way too involved for my skill level. Maybe there are some easier methods.

Thanks for any suggestions.
