Need help, advice with my 318 build

I completely disagree. I would never in a million years purposely retard a camshaft.......unless it needed retarding to reach where the cam card said it is supposed to be installed. That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.

Just pick another camshaft.

Wow, ok. Bit harsh there, I never thought installing a 4 degree advanced cam in a straight up position would get a "never in a million years" or "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard" response. I have read you can usually go 4 degree off the cam card either way for tuning. And that 4 degrees advanced is usually the sweet spot, so it is usually best to degree to the card.

I agree that the OP should pick another cam preferably something with a wider LSA, but they posted that they wanted to keep that cam, trying to give suggestions. If I was way out of line I apologize.
