Hey Lars..good to see you here.Timing below 2000 rpm is irrelevant in a performance application provided the engine idles smoothly and has good throttle response off idle. You want the timing curve to start coming in just above idle speed and pull a straight line to 36 degrees at 2500-3000 rpm; you can draw it on a piece of graph paper. Cam specs are also fairly irrelevant - you want to hit 36 degrees total as quickly as the engine can take it without detonatrion regardless of cam, but the 2500-3000 spec works pretty good for every application I have done. A larger cam will want more initial timing than a small cam, but that's about the only setuyp difference. What's a PCM...?
