IMO, Loosing low-end depends if you're keeping a stock Tq converter.... keeping the TPI???

If your keeping the stock intake and Torque converter the XFI 260 might be your best bet.... going with a higher stall and keeping the original TPI intake will just shorten your powerband.
the XFI 260 has a newer cam design with faster ramps, big lift and loads of time under the curve.

Re: stock cam in tpi350
make sure you know what lift your heads will tolerate before selecting a cam....
Unless you wanna do head work as well.
