I have a 96 sohc motor that just had the head shaved and a 4 angle valve job. Also at the time it had a comp cams stage 2 cam installed. It has a fidanza adjustable cam gear and I wanted to know if anyone knew what the safest maximum degrees it should be advanced?

 

you should really only change cam timing if your tuning with a dyno.

only way of know of finding the "safe max" would be by claying the engine.

Yea I would not adjust the timing without a dyno. It will either turn out to be a waste of time, you will break something, or you have a slight chance of being lucky and gaining power off it. If you want timing advanced get a mopar ecu or afx ecu.
