i should be getting the cam gear and installing in a few days. Should I tell em to set it 2 degrees advanced? Remember I have the pnp head, milled, plus IHE. And then will I have to run higher than 89 octane? this is confusing. thanks for any help.
I think in the other thread I had worked out that you needed +2 degrees just to correct the milled head.
On the stock head/cam engine +2 from stock was found to be best for power.
So, just based on that, I would say to start at +4. BUT, this is just a starting point. the only way to tell where you combination will make best power is with back to back dyno tests. It's real easy to reset the cam gear and run tests. It only takes about 30 seconds for each adjustmant.
