28* initial timing for a 318? How can that be?

Icetech said

My engine won't even idle decently below 26* i'm going to end up just locking it at 32... i was stressed bout it but everyone says a motor wants what it wants.. mine loved 40 but would be bad

P.S. AJ and i had a long talk about it and it's just what the cam wants...

That’s about the most idiotic advice you could get. I’d rather use MVA and try and get a curve with it than lock it out.

AJ is NOT a cam whisperer. And that’s horrible advice. Do NOT do it.

Rise above the ignorance of poor, lazy tuners and tuning. I’m betting I can make your engine idle with less than 24 initial and get a curve in it.

Half way through 2025 and we still haven’t corrected tuning nonsense and lies.
