anyone running a Comp 306S??
ok just what the title says.. anyone running a 306S??
306* adv, 260* @.050", .555" lift, etc..
i have a question about degreeing that thing.. i've heard that you should advance it 4 degrees because it is not ground with the same 4 degrees advance like the other magnum cams are.. i installed my cam straight up and i am wondering if i do the 4 degrees advance will it give me more power?? sadly i'm only in the quest for 11's with a cam like this.. still stuck in the 12's.. thanks

"I've heard" the Earth is flat too.... hasn't yet made me alter my travel arrangements...
AFAIK it's ground on the same ICL as the others; 106° ATDC IIRC.
As far as whether changing the cam timing will "give you more power", that's anybody's guess. It's a tuning adjustment. Generally if you advance the cam, you move the peak torque & HP RPMs downward, and if you retard it, you move them up. Maybe 75-100 RPM per °, max. So as to whether your car will go faster, that would depend on gearing, weight, transmission, converter, and a whole lot of other influences.
Try it and see. It's the only way you'll ever know.
