Too much timing?

I understand there is more than one way Rusty.
What I'm saying is that you don't have to pump so much timing into a car just to stick your chest out and say look at me, I have 20 initial. Maybe for a quarter mile blast. Backing it down a couple clicks will give you an all around much better running motor, that will also last much longer. No hiccups with the starter, no pinging, no knocking, no burnt pistons, and an overall cooler running engine. I also can run 87 in my cars, Have you seen gas prices in California ?
I'm sure Kevin will get it sorted out. :)
Thanks for the nice comments.

Now that's the last think this is about. Some combos won't have a decent vacuum signal or have good idle quality (good as they can given the camshaft) until timing is up that high......so trust me, it ain't about stickin titties out....although I like seein the right ones stickin out.
