I have my timing set now to were it's at 35 at 2000 rpm is that to much to fast?
Thats with a base timing at 10.
Car seems slow until it gets to 2500rpm.Would the base timing change that?

35-36 max with vaccum hose off.------------------

 I forgot to take the vaccum hose off. 
I was just so dam happy that it started.And then so upset it leaked.That I should have just walked away for day.
I'll check it out for 35-36 max at 3500 rpm.
Thanks

If I remember correctly. That cam should like more base timing than 10*. I ran mine at around 16* base, and centrifugal advance should come in gradually until it reaches about 36* total at about 3000 rpms. It will feel much stronger if you can get your base timing higher and get your advance curve set right. DanH ------------------

I used the cam that summit racing sales in it's kit with lifters.
It's the same cam as the perfromer cam.
My heads are just old stock heads,in need of a valve job.------------------
