Can't think of any simple or cheap ways to move the torque curve down... that cam timing thing would be my 1st choice, followed by a different cam itself, small tube headers, perhaps a heavier flywheel, and the like. Otherwise maybe you need to be satisfied with the torque characteristics it has and work on reducing parasitic losses- eliminate belt driven stuff, underdrive the rest, improve aero, all that jazz.
