lsvtec sluggish. no power. timing question
my lsvtec is extremely slow. it feels like it has absolutely no power above 3000 rpms. i think it has to do with my cam and ignition timing. i never bothered to adjust either of them. right now the car has a p28 with a pretty decent basemap on it. i dont have enough money to get it tuned as of now.the motor is a b18b block manley rods manley pistons 9:1 cr b16a2 head itr manifold and tb header and exhaust. could it be just the low compression that is making it sluggish or could the timing be doing it? what should i adjust the cams and ignition to? thanks

dont drive the car if the cam timing is not set you will damage your motor!
Get a service manual from advanced auto and start reading! For the cam timing align all three marks 2 on the cam gears and one on the crank, set the ignition timing for 16.5
