This may not be the right thread, but that is what I want to better understand. If a cam is optimized to "come in" above a certain range, say 3k rpm, how does that correlate to how the base and advance is set...

Don says that I should be running 20-22 base + 14 advance with it all in at 2800-3000 rpms. That's a long way from where I am now.
