should give you more leeway adjusting the timing, if you advance the timing alot you will need to run premium or premium with octane booster otherwise you'll get pinging (detonation).

this is from crane cams website:
"How does Advancing or Retarding the camshaft's position in the engine affect performance? Advancing the cam will shift the basic RPM range downward. Four degrees of advance (from the original position) will cause the power range to start approximately 200 RPM sooner. Retarding it this same amount will move the power upward approximately 200 RPM. This can be helpful for tuning the power range to match your situation. If the correct cam has been selected for a particular application, installing it in the normal "straight up" position (per the opening and closing events at .050" lifter rise on the spec card) is the best starting point. "

You have an auto gearbox??? it says "stage 2 shift kit" in your sig...
I think the first thing they say to do when you get cams done (apart from the valve springs) is to get a high stallie or manual... Dunno mate...

The manual or high stall and a bit of patience for the run in should start to see how good the cam is.

mate you need to give it alot more ИИИИ than 3grand lol my cam wont come in till 3200RPM shows on my dyno chart, shift kits are good but team it with 3.9 diff gears and you will notice a HUGE difference.
