454 mag cam question
 
Im putting a Lunati flat tappet cam in my 365 mag with low dome pistons stock carb and exhaust (for now), and 188 heads. The cam is 224-234 deg, 534 and 559 lift, with 114 lobe separation. What Kind of idle characteristics can I expect, and installing a new chain and gear setup, should I look to install at 0, or +or- 4 deg? What impact would the timing change have on performance? Thanks

The cam you are installing is nearly the same as the Crane cam merc used in the 420HP/454.
She should idle nicely and have lots more power then she did stock.
Great choice... :drink:
