advance on a stock cam?

[Cuda416]

We need to replace the timing chain on our magnum so I'm just wondering if it's of any real benefit to installing the new one in the 4 deg advance keyway, or are we better off just sticking to zero for now?

Degree it in and it should go in straight up. Big cams usually loose some bottom end. Advancing them gets some bottom end back at the loss of top end power.

I don't see any advantage of setting it up 4 degrees advance on a stock setup. IMO 65'

Thanks guys, I expected it wouldn't but figured I'd ask since we'll be in it anyway.
