I read that comp cams have a 5* timing advance in them. I never found anything about VT stage 2 needing an advance. I know you have to get a tune done immediately after installation, but does tuning have the same effect as timing? If not how do you "time" the cams? Some links or advice on what you all did would help, thanks everyone. P.S.I bought the VT stage 2 cam and Manley Springs, replacing the timing cover gasket, valve cover gasket, crank bolt, timing gears, chains, and plastic guides. One more thing...torque converter??? calls for a 2800 stall. Is that for racing specific, or for general use? I was planning on getting the 2500 brake stall and 3000 flash. Anybody else have that setup?
