454HO and Base 502 cam. Recomeend springs and pushrod length needs to be checked. I personally would convert to an adjustable valvetrain as well. Seemed to help low-end torque on the 8100 with headers. If it lost anything it was under the converter stall speed. I do not lug my engines as low as you do though. I have my shift patterns setup to downshift the transmission to pull the engine out of high load situations at lower rpm.
You saying you did that cam in an 8.1? It's been tempting me to drop one into the plow truck because stock sucks. On the other hand the stock intake chokes at 4500, so also on the fence. Forgot to ask if OP was keeping stock intake manifold.
