true... But higher timing will detonate faster then lower.... Lower timing will also bring egt down a little supposedly... But yes too little timing will blow chit up too but I say a little low is way better then a little high!!!
Less timing will most likely increase EGT's. Running more timing, to a certain extent, and depending on the cam profile, can actually bleed off the cranking compression faster and reduce the risk of detonation. |

Not necessarily. There are many factors to consider.

Since we are talking about timing right now... with a non blower motor what kind of timing is safe for a SBC? My motor was just broken and the guy set it at 32 degrees at 3k. I was told I can up it to 34-36 for more power. Would this even be noticeable?

Just try it, my 406 liked 36deg; bet yours will too.
