Could I be right I heard short runners high rpm and long runners Torque...So If you want torque down at 2000, use a high torque cam and a Truck FI intake

Long runner intakes promote torque more than short runner intakes but, apart from adding a Kennebell as suggested above, asking a 302 to make loads of torque at 2000 rpm is unrealistic. The 302 does a good job of making torque considering its size but it needs more then 2000 rpms to make good numbers.

If u want more torque multiplication at low engine speeds put steeper (3.73 or 4.10) gears in it, or put a Kennebell on it. The cam in a 302 is critical to its ability to make torque and the TFS 1 as well as most others strike a good balance between torque and upper rpm horsepower but they are intended for use with mild rear gearing to put the engine in its power band sooner and more often. Compression plays into this too as higher engine compression will wake up the lower rpm (below 3K rpm) responsiveness of an engine.

The stock SO motor makes it's peak torque right around 2000 rpm's, but as with everything else there is a trade off i.e. low peak horsepower #'s. The trick is to find what's right for what you want.
