Default 100 more lbs torque

My buddy I build cars with finally changed to a smaller cam that fit the 10.5:1 compression better and the hp should be about the same as the other cam with .714 lift with 270 at .050, but now with 254 at .050 the computer and butt meter show about a 100 torque increase on his 555ci motor. With the powerglide and 5.13 rear gears at almost any speed up to 60 in 1st gear, the tires spin, 18.5"x33" of Mickey Thompson stickey Streets. Whoo Hooo, it should be running under 10's every time now, not just some of the time. Many of you have seen the truck before, but if you haven't...
This was a race before it ran a 9.82 with the wrong cam.
