"Quicker" advance curve; any benefit?

NGK V-powers, they're basically stock replacement Magnum plugs.



That's what I thought but just figured I'd make sure and ask. I've been expecting this engine to behave like my old 360 but that had 10.5:1 compression, unported stock Magnum iron heads and a small (too small!) cam. All things considered the bottom end torque on this engine isn't as soggy as I expected it's just these 2.94 gears are giving it a hard time, I can tell it wants to rev up much quicker than it's able to due to the tall gears. I can currently hit almost 70 mph in first gear and third gear is useless for accelerating unless I'm on the freeway going 80 mph.

Also my cam was custom ground by Racer Brown specifically for 3.55 gears anyway.



Racer Brown IS Jim Dowell. He is an awesome guy and I can't say enough good about him. He is my go to guy with Cam Motion second.

What did he grind you if you don't mind my asking?
