BB TTI 2" header hot start problem

My timing on my 13-1, 416 small block was locked at 34 degrees BTC. Most modern digital ign. have a 20 degree retard built in for start up and go to your locked position at 800 rpms.

So my engine would start at 14 Degrees and go to 34 Degrees with a MSD digital 6. I still needed to use the Kill switch when hot to start the engine. even with C14 race fuel. High compression plays a big factor starting an engine when hot.

High compression engines start easier with a Large duration wide overlap cam. This helps due to decreased cranking pressure. One reason a low compression engine shouldn't get to big of a cam. It turns them into chugging pigs.

Chugga Chugga Ka Chugga Chugga instead of the sound of a Herd of horses in gallop. We sit at Gate 3 at Carlisle on my Golf cart and listen to the Chuggers come in.

There is more to an engine then just adding a cam shaft for sound.
