Correct. For some reason, I just didn't want to jump on Ernie. We've talked about the "20 degree initial timing" line of thinking before and, granted, some swear by it. Even over on the FE Forum there are a couple of people who run it and like it. If you have all your timing in by 3000, and your cam really doesn't kick in until 3000, then there's an argument to made that it doesn't really matter one way or another. But I do enjoy reading posts by guys that have fixed their problems by running 20 degrees initial.
