Help Cam Install ? Timing

[mike7581]

IF a cam is installed wrong what will be a sympton. my car runs best at 30BTC timing!!! could this be a sympton of a cam installed incorrectly. could the distributor be bad i originally had a msd which did the same thing as the stock one i have now. it runs best at 30btc and back fires like hell at 16btc. what is wrong????
