Talking ford 390

i have a 1974 ford f-100. it has edelbrock rpm heads, intake, forged speed-pro piston, eagle h-beam rods, and a demon 750 mech sec carb. i recently purchased a comp cam 262 xtreme energy cam for it. will this cam give me the tire shredding torque i'm looking for? it used to have a comp cam 280 magnum cam, it seemed to be more for top end then low. any questions or comments are welcome.

Yes you will get a ton of low end ferom it but you won't be consuming enough air to make the edel heads show their stuff. It will make a great stump puller though.
