Default Low end still sux

My low end still blows. Ideas to vastly improve it? My high end is amazing, but straight off the line needs work.

What mainly increases low end.

He already has 4.10 gears (off road edition).

That new Edelbrock/Hughes intake manifold might help.

Hmmmmm...trying to launch a 6000+ lb truck. Somewhere, I hear a conference room of pinhead engineers laughing.

What kind of low end are you wanting? Something that will obliterate you tires just by taping the go pedal? Or a little less?
Based on your current mods, all suggestions will be expensive, and may shorten your current engine life....
Here they are, in no particular order. Supercharger, Stroker motor, 4:56 gears, Nitrous, and sawzall.

A tune will help. Sct or B&G will get rid of the Torque management.
