Olds Cam Timing

[Cavefish]

Played around with desktop dyno and on my setup, retarding the cam made more HP at top end, at least on the software. It was encouraging enough that I set up my new motor so I can try it and change it back if it doesn't work out.
What the heck, we bought these boats so we could try stuff?

Hey I bet Jack probally has a degree wheel and I have dial indicaters and magnetic base degreeing a cam is easy.By the way I gave him your cell # he might call you to to go move his boat sometime this week just think It'll be killer having a 110 MPH jet boat behind your truck And to post some use full info to your thread I changed my timing chain on my 460 before it was retarded and I set it up on 0 and picked up a shit load of low to mid range power.

retard the cam for more top end, but you'll only gain a couple few horse, degree it if you want to be sure the cam was machined properly.
