im talking about non-vtec sohc, why does everyone say retard the sprocket 2-3 degrees and not advance it?

does retarding it help make power on top end or help torque?

i cant get a clear answer anywhere..., i know everyone says put it on the dyno but in general, whats your personal experiment with the settings?
thanks

 

bump, any info honda peeps??

 

I'd only mess with SOHC cam settings if you're running aftermarket cam grind (like the SR909<shameless plug!!!)

 

usually retarding the cam ti ming helps top end
and advancing it makes low end torque

* i am at work all tired, if i am wrong someone please correct me....*
