[QUOTE]Originally posted by JohnB: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Thirteen Twenty: [qb] o.k. so I glanced over most of the posts... what is it with ford guys and retarding a cam :confused: that in my opinion is the quickest way to be slow on the street. I get the feeling alot of you need to retard the cam in order to gain piston to valve clearance, well why don't you just send me $150 in the mail for free. The thought of retarding a cam for this reason is a waste of a good cam for sure. 90% of the time I will advance a cam on the street or run it straight up. If you have to retard it then buy a different cam or notch/ change your pistons. Otherwise I'll be waiting for you when you finally get to the next light. ;) srry for the ranting but I feel most of you have run these cams retarded due to poor advise in the past and wish to put a stop to it. [/qb][/QUOTE]There are PLENTY of reasons for retarding a cam other than gaining P to V clearance, likewise there are more than one for advancing a cam. Things like the weight of the vehicle, useable RPM range, gear ratio, transmission ratio, and the engine's combo in general are just a few. No need to applogize for the rant, you can save the applogies for the next time you advance a cam too much and it kisses a piston. You have got to be a MoPar guy...lol [/QB][/QUOTE]
