cam timing question / timing set i have an 01 zo6 wih prc heads and a 236/240 111 lsa cam, put down 416 at the wheels. the car has headers, no cats, and b&b bullets, vararam intake. other than that its stock. my tuner thinks i put my cam in a few degrees retarted because the powerband is coming in late. i need to put in an adjustable timing set and degree the cam into 111 degrees. i was reading about the cloyes hed adjustable set. does anyone have a part # for that or a link? is that just a replacement timing set that won't need any spacers?
also, lets say for example that my cam is in at 114 degrees. when i put on this adj timing set and degree the cam in at 111 degrees, will my car sound different as far as idle quality? being the cam wont change the the timing ?

well i can tell u if u are at 114 and u go back to 111 yes the idle will be choppier and you will have a better response from the car when u get on it, and it seems if your powerband is coming in later than expected chance is ur behind a tooth, as far as adjustable timing sets.....i dont like em, thats my personal opinion, too many variables of something going wrong, id say if this isnt a race car and just ur Fun weekend driver, then i would just make sure u have a good timing set now and advance the timing to get it back to normal and keep it that way, if your running a turbo/SC or N20 then i would say get an adjustable set seeing that youll be changing it from time to time, but then again everything is computer controller nowadays
