Has anyone retarded the stock cam?

JT - No, definately not talking about spark! But I can see how some peeps might get confused.

Adam, I know ya knew that bud. It was actually Muy Pyro's post that made me think of saying something (I am sure he knew too, but his phraseology made me think of the possible confusion).

You hurt my feelings. I like my 40 year old mid life crisis car

Yeah, you're crying all the way down the 1/4 with your mid 11 second ETs, stock idle, with a 3700 pound race weight!

Figure I could pick one of these up... I'm gonna need it anyway when I do the real cam further down the road.

Anyone recommend a good walkthrough? There a couple on the net, like the one on the crane website, just wondering if anyone had something better stashed away.

Thanks for the replies,

Adam

i went back and looked at my stuff and i actually advanced it 4 degrees for more low end and faster spool of my turbo. depends on what you want, but from me, a big turbo needs all the help spooling it can get, plus i dont want to rev out the motor, so advanced is what i did

Just a sidenote. The stock cam is pretty retarded by itself. You should get an aftermarket one.

NO the stock cam has 4 degrees of advance ground into it as do many ots cams for our cars

I would share some dyno results with an AFR165 car with retarded 4 degree stock cam and ported cobra lower, but no one would believe me and peopel would stop buying cams
