Default Follow up to cam swap question - cam gurus needed

Would I gain enough low end torque and not lose alot of high end power by swapping out the F303 (.512/.512 226/226) for a 1) Comp Cam Xtreme Energy (.509/.512 224/230) or
2) .493/.500 220/226 ???

The F303 is rated at about 3000-7000 rpms and the the comp cams are 1) 1600-5800 and 2) 1300-5600 range. I'm thinking they'd be better for low end, but might be a little weak up top. I'm gonna be spraying a 125-150 shot next year, and want something that'll kicka$$ w/ the juice too. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

Keep the F303..trust me on this one. You'll suffer maybe a tad bit on the low end, but mid range and top end you'll gain. The other cams such as the xtreme energy aren't gonna be that effective on mid range and top end as the F303. Or if you want a different cam all together, change to a Comp Cams Nitrous Cam. They work all over the rpm range. Good luck!!

Thanks Eric. I was told to keep it from a local dyno tuner I called.
