cam advance question ok i did my search and now my eyes hurt and i didn't find the answer i needed. if i have my cam and crak dot to dot as they are now and i take the chain and jump one tooth in advance on the crank will this give me 4 degrees of advancement? we did this on my friend truck with this same cam and it screamed way better results than just dot to dot. when i installed this cam in my truck i went striaght up but now wish i would have done the same. i just want to make sure i'm doing this right.
no!! it will give you way more advance than you want. you can find how many degress of advance but dividing the # of teeth on the gear by 360. that will tell you how many degrees of advance you would get but you dont want to do that. you need an adjustable timming set.
are you wanting to do this with the cam in your sig? why go through all the work for just some advance??? its not going to change too much really with the cam you are running

this thing peeks at like 6800 rpm and i don't want to turn it that fast and its in a truck so to lower the power band would be good for me. and this smae cam in my friend 5.3 ran twice as good when advanced then when it was striaght up.
You need the multi indexed crank sprocket. A cam degree wheel is ALWAYS a good idea when moving cams from straight up. I tried to run my cam 4* advanced hoping to bring the power band down and the car wouldn't even run 
Also turned out that my double roller was off by 1* advanced already... must have been slack in the chain.
