U do know that if you advance the intake cam 3 degrees that u also advanced the ignition timing 3 degrees at the same time right??? (they are connected u know)

So.. if u already jacked the timing 3 degrees from teh cam, then went and bumped the dizzy you are running alot of timing, U need to retard the dizzy a degree everytime u advance the cam a degree in order to maintain 16 degrees of timing.

and i forgot to mention, you are most likely detonating with all that timing and thats why u need to pull some of that back.
