I'm setting up my new engine and want to know how to set the cam. I had it a 0 degree advance before and was lacking low end torque. I am thinking of a 2 degree advance (?) to try and improve the launch. Is this the right direction? Should I go to 4 degrees?

Cam Specs are:

                        Int     Exh 

adv duration     274     274

Lift @ .50          226    226

lift @ lobe         .296   .296

lift @ Valve       .456    .456

centerline 110 degrees at TDC

I intend to order another cam for my next engine but will run this one for now in my McCullouch blown 272. Any suggestions? Chuck in NH

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.
