cant smoke the skins...problem??

further info.
cam has been redegreed twice, and has a new timing set.
Holley carb is brand spanking new.(it may need to be tweaked some more)
Still playing with the timing advance a bit, checked manifold vacuum and found all o.k. there. Have changed the advance springs in the distributor to help compensate which it did a bit, adjusted vacuum pod. The cam is set at the reccomended spec. of 108, I have been told to bump that up, but it makes me nervous. I have spent some time on the call center at Comp Cams and the reccomend the "268" version for my application. They too thought my MP cam is a bit much and is eating my compression at a fast rate.
I really like the chopiness and rump rump of that cam, but I want the car to react the way it should. The carruns real good except for the concern I have mentioned here. Real tight and real strong. Just no burnie which agravates me cause I know it should.

thanks again for all the great word of wisdom being passed along!
