Default ideas on more low end

well here it goes. I have edge juice w hot unlock, edge jammer 150's, airdog df165, custom 4" exhaust, volant air intake, con ofe clutch 5speed, 3.73 gears, hx35 made 434/988 at dave smith in kellog and the same at shelly auto in spokane. Just installed super phat shaft 62/71/14 and lost most of my low end! Need ideas on getting this turbo to spool faster. Its between a cam, smarty stack, or better injectors. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks big time guies!

From what I have read, the Smarty will smartin up that bottom end, sorry for the pun.
Need to tell the VP to dump more in at low RPM, the Smarty should do that. Bigger injectors, and a cam would too, but the versatility of the Smarty may be more bang for the buck.

The Smarty will make a massive low end improvement. It doesn't add any HP to your truck but it will flatten the torque curve out.
