What cam is it? It's all in the sig and in previous posts but here it is again. It's a Competition Cam 280 Magnum ground on a 114 LSA. 230@.5" Jets are the factory setting. I don't remember exactly at the moment but it's available on BG's website.

e old trick It will run at 2000 and up?Can you set the time at about 2500 rpm and set it by ear someone watch the tach when it goes to peak stop and then ajust your idle on the carbYour carb should be around 62,64 square to start with,My motors are set at 3000 rpm and hand tuned timng.lights can get you close but rpms must be correct In other words someone hold the throttle and watch the tach,when it rises in rpm you are getting close to time,I hope you are not eating cam and parts,That will make your plugs foul and won't idle.Springs on heads ???
