Ayup. I set it for low end torque and there is a definate difference in
my Jetta. (not legal in my Scirocco...) Especially since the tranny in it
is a 4K and the 5th gear has been swapped from a(stock) .89 to a .71. The
cam is a Neuspeed 268 BTW.
REALLY tall gearing in 5th gear and it just pulls now. Running around
town is more fun too. Lots more low end grunt. 

I had innitially set it up for top end power but the low end suffered too
much loss to make the higher powered revs worth it. Low end is where its
at. 
YMMV.
