A few degrees +/- can shift the torque curve. You realy should do it.
You will need
-an index wheel
-a piston stop
-a pointer
-a means of turning the crank manually

I've talked with a few other guys on the board here that have the same combo that I do. I'm trying to figure out why mine is down on power and track times compared to theirs. Started looking at cylinder pressure being down 30 psi. Thinking cam might have been put in slightly retarded. Does any body know how Lingenfelter recommends the 219 be installed?

Straight up. :) I think BeachBum would be the one to talk to. I think he may have retarded his 2*. Don't quote me, I'm not positive.

For something that seems like it should be done, not too many people do.
