Why so much inital timing???

I have run 20 plus degrees initial on everything I do for years.

My car, a street car, has the distributor locked out at 36 degrees, so at idle, that's what it has. May like 38, but I'm not there yet.

BLASPHEMY! What do you mean you run a locked distributor on the street! That'll never work. You're getting 1 less MPG than you could if you did it right! Locked out timing is for race cars not street cars! You're missing out on bottom end with that distributor locked! What about vacuum advance! You don't know how to tune a street motor!

End sarcasm.

Overly sensitive bunch.
Ive done the things I say, that's how I know you can run a lot more dynamic than this.
To some of you...what is under your hood you have built that will back up your talk?
I just got done reading 7+ pages of you goons arguing about cams....hyjack heaven.
Do you even have anything running?

Overly sensitive? Say's the guy who can't just admit he was wrong, even after he's been asked to go away lol.

For lustle this is true.

The only thing true for me is that I figured his IVC and DCR with minimal cam specs. And was right on the bat. You know. Those details you didn't, I mean couldn't, figure out? lol
