Take timing out for a cam ????? I had my dyno tuned and it made less hp than i was hoping.I was going over my file a notice i have 2degrees less timing in my motor so now i'm at 26 degrees. Is this normal i was thinking more timing.My compression is about 10.8.1 not alot to worry about a ping and i have a g5x2 cam with stock cubes. I was thinking i should have about 29 degrees. 
Re: Take timing out for a cam ????? Bump it up 1* at a t ime until you get KR. take a look at this site www.ls1tuning.com. Lots of good information there to get you started
Re: Take timing out for a cam ????? In most cases an aftermarket cam will have more valve overlap than the stock one did, so the engine will develop less static cylinder presure. For this reason I believe you should be running more timing advance rather than less. Take it back to the tunner and have them fix it.

Re: Take timing out for a cam ????? I got my timing tables from mark at ragingmotorsports he is baling me out. I am running his heads and cam and his timing table looks a hell of alot better.I will be going back to the track this weekend to see what happens. my car only dyno 401hp i thought that was low.
