Timing Anyone mind giving me an explanation of what increased timing is providing?
Why do modifications (ex. heads,cam) throw off timing? Most bump it back up with the increased air flow of a ported set of heads, or larger duration'd camshaft.
I think my understanding of timing is a bit off, and I'm pretty sure I understand why a camshaft swap, affects max timing but not cylinder heads.

The right spark advance is the one that starts combustion early enough such that cyl pressure is at its peak at the right time relative to the piston being at TDC.
Too late, and you leave some power behind.

Ah ok, cylinder pressure.
So, a camshaft that lets in more air, needs more timing advancement. Is this the way it works?
What about cylinder heads. Just more efficient...more air entering? Add timing
