Ended up using a JP Performance timing set that allows for cam install with advance or retard. Have an A&A kit going in next month. Should I install the stock 2000 cam 0 offset or would there be any advantage to install advanced or retard? Mods are LT headers and RHS 205 cc heads.

Retard.

Why don't you stick a small cam in? The gains you would get from retarding the stock cam would be minimal. I bet you would pick up 30hp with an ls6 cam.

Thought about a small blower cam but I've already gone way over budget. I plan to do a radiator next year and used a two piece timing cover so cam swap should be easy then.

Wouldn't advance move the torque to lower RPMs?

Yes that is what advancing would do. I don't know how much more low end you would get out of a stock cam though. Would be interesting if you tested this on a dyno.
