Default Msd 6014

Hello all gear heads, I am fairly new to this and I am looking for your expert info and help. I have a gen 3 6.0L, LS3 heads, headers, Texas Speed cam (222/230.600/.615), quick Fuel 750 carb. I am looking to fine tune a bit. What is a good base starting point when creating a custom setting for the MSD? Thanks in advance!

As above with the 6010 (link below) is pretty much the same except for the 24 Vs. 58 tooth wheel is reads from.

Lots of good reading there.

This really woke up the 6L, now, after running and engine warm, it has the hard cranking issue. Do I drop the * at starting?

Start your ramp at 1400rpm go up in a angle to be all in by 550. I would play it safe and start at 26 degrees of timing. Get rid of all the dots You only need 2 dots. Then tune for mph at the track. Makes it a lot easier. We landed on 28 but every combo can be different.

Yes, you can drop it a few degrees under 750 to help with warm start.... may help ?

Ok, this is what I have:
RPM 0- 12*
850-22
1700-28
4300-29
6000-34

So drop the degree from 12 to correct the hot start issue?
