Base TIMING for THIS CAM
i have a pretty stock 89 iroc 350 tpi with pulley kit on crank and water pump hooker headers 3 inch exhaust. i did an engine rebuild and used this cam. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRN-104224/
what im trying to figure out is where should the timing be at with this cam because i set it at 6 BTDC and the engine runs poorly, slow sluggish throttle, shifts at high rpms, the idle is high, hard to get past 30mph and i know my timing marks are accurate.
ive been at this for months and cant figure it out any help towards the right direction would be appreciated

Re: Base TIMING for THIS CAM
base timing is for easy starting both cold and hot.
a couple of thoughts, is it kicking any codes?
when you set the timing, you did unplug the timing set connector and then plugged it back in, right?
