Quick ? I am installing a TSP220 into a 5.3 and I got a double roller timing chain set along with it. The smaller sprocket has -8 through +8 in 2 degree increments, which one do I have to set it at? Do I need a degree wheel? How many degrees should I have with the 220? Thanks.....

 

that refers to cam retard/advance. just depends how you want to shift your torque and HP curves

 

So basically if I want to have it set for what they intended it to be just leave it at 0?

 

being a 220 yeah 0 isnt bad. basically if you want more low end torque and to hit the peak power later go with a negative advance. if you want to hit the HP sooner with a little less low end torque (this is what id suggest for a street machine, less revs) go with a positive advance. I wouldnt go over 2 degrees either way though. Let me ask two questions, what vehicle is it (how heavy), and what transmission?

 

after reading your username im gonna guess its a with a jeep

 

Yeah its in a 99 wrangler with a 5.3 and its a stick..... 4.10 gears.

If it were me I would lean to either 0 or +2
