advanced cam timing

bircky311 · 02-24-2003, 03:44 AM

has anyone expirimented with advancing the stock HO cam timing? I was wondering because there are no Dynos in the area to my knowledge and I don't really have the time to do it by trial and error... I was thinkin' about 4 degrees... that would make the intake centerline around 112*, I think. Any advice, as allways, is greatly appriciated... Thanx

No, haven't heard of anyone tweaking the stock cam. If you are going to mess with advancing the stock cam timing...then while you're in there, pull it out and stick in a high-performance cam.
