Hi Rob. I was told going one way gives better low-end torque, and the other
way gives better peak power. Can't remember which right now. I think the
advice I got was to be biased toward being advanced. But with my gears, that
would have put me at 102 or something like that. I was also advised not to get
too worked up over a few degrees one way or the other. I can say that my cam
is timed at about 114 and the engine seems to run great with a good idle and
torque.
