Advancing a cam
I tried to advance my cam over the weekend, My crank gear has A2-A8, 0 and R2-R8. Well I set the crank gear on A4 and lost 15psi cranking compression? Im going to tear it apart tonite and was considering just going to A8 doing a compression check the R8 and doing a compression check. The original problem is I think I stuck a cam in thats a little too big. My original cam I thought was too small but looking back I think it was too far advanced. Original cam had the motor at 210psi and would only rev to 5,500 it was installed at 99* current cam has me at 175psi installed at 106* and it revs to my limiter which is 7,200 just kinda lacks on the bottom end so I wanted to get some bottom end back and bring the rpm range down to 6,500-6,800 or so. Any sugestion will be greatly appreciated.
As soon as I can afford it Im going to get heads and raise the compression from 11.29 to 11.75 or so which should make my cam happier.
