  Is the cam supposed to be a blower grind for the B engine?

    If it is, I'd prolly degree it in and buy the key I needed to get it 
right on.  Gotta figure Elgin did some dyno testing.  If they did, I'd 
sure get the ignition curve and boost specs (IOW, what worked best) from 
them as a baseline.  It would seem to me that you'll have plenty of 
other things to sort out before thinking about altering the cam timing. 
When I was racing, KISS was my credo.

   Cheers,

    CR
