Long rods, short timing

["Kim & Brad Johnson" <b091696@snowhill.com>]

Ok listers, this question was  posed to me.  If you're running a long rod
motor (like a 6.2 rod with a 2.9 stroke.....small block Chevy......298"),
would you back the timing down from say 38 to 34 because of the longer dwell
time at top dead center of the piston caused by the 1/2" longer rod?????
