FR33 kent cam what timing are people running.

is the old rule of advance till it pings ok is that a bad idea?
engine build
10.5:1
ported head
twin 44idfs webers
pacemaker bore bore extractors
H&H dissy (no vac advance)
fr33 kent cam kit.
 

yes i got the rejetted 44 idfs carbs on the manifold, i drilled and tapped on number 3 round knob thingy, i can take a pic, if you want. I ran the heater hose to the head take off pipe back to the radiator. Just got it running on the week end.

Install the cam at the timing as specified on the spec sheet.  Dyno tests with this cam advanced and retarted 4 degrees, clearly show torque (HP) decreases with these timing changes.
Hope this data assists with your timing choices.

depends when it is pinging? your probably going to ping all the time if you run bad fuel, or you put in 4th to labour up a hill in low revs. optimum ignition timing varies greatly from engine to engine.
pinging is bad, and if you do it for too long you are going to put a nice hole in a piston or do some kind of damage. but if you advance it till it pings and then retard it a bit till it goes away, you should be fine, depending on how far you have to retard it of course.
 
dynos are great for doing ignition timing, and you can change springs to alter advance curves easily id highly recommend it. too much advance on the static timing is going to make it harder to start also.
 
my ignition timing which i setup on the dyno is pretty well standard as thats what worked best for my engine.
im running 11:1 on 45's with a bf63 cam.
