Gary - set that sucker to 0, retard the ignitition to a total of about 22 degrees, and fire that blown, noisey sucker up. What you are talking about is tuning stuff. That's better done later, after you start to work the car out. BTW - If you have to advance/retard that bumpstick any more than 4 degrees to get more power, then you've got the wrong cam grind. I personally think the number is closer to 2 degrees. A timing chain set is fine tuned using offset keys in the keyway, sold by all the cam producers. PSSSS! Also only the blower guys know this little secret. You don't have to do all of that trick stuff on a engine with a blower to make power. Fact is, the tricks will most likely work against you if you do. You "tune" blowers by in large with a pully change. The camshaft is almost secondary with a blower. The only thing that is important is the static compression number and the exaust work you've done. Now go get em.
