the unknown cam I have in it drops off power at about 5500-6000rpm, has great torque and really pulls from 4000rpm ... What do you need in a cam to produce torque?
Fit a stock A12 cam. Pulls from 3000-6000 RPM. Drops off at 5000 with the stock carburetor, but will pull hard to 6000 RPM with a larger carburetor. And still idle smooth at 600 RPM.

For a lower RPM range you can go with a shorter duration camshaft -- shorter than stock.

Increased valve lift is a ticket to more torque at full throttle. Cleanup the bowls on the cylinder head will help too, regardless of RPM.
