I'm no tuner, but I know that advanced cam timing comes with bigger cams. Although, this isn't always true when you have a milled head, but I'm assuming you don't.

either way he shouldnt be messing with it, leave that up to the tuner. if you dont know what to do without asking, pay someone else to do it.

I'd have it tuned. Fooling around with stuff like that may not be a great idea.

Do you have the right IACV? I have heard that you have to idle high on some stage 3 cams, but it shouldn't be that high.
