my thought is ..if you have to retard it, it's the wrong cam. It will hurt the whole idea of the build =torque. No biggie ...if it seems like it's not going to work then you can always change it later. Sometimes you just have to find out for yourself... and that's okay. I just get sick of the people in their blanket statement builds where they get it to work on 93 or corn and then assume that it will work on 91 too. Like the overconfidence some people have from winning one battle... gets old.
