for the timing table I copied the table from a 98 s10 4.3 with an efilive eval. it took bumping up the timing considerable amount to get the motor to come alive and get to this point. I'm going through some of my old datalogs from before the CDI install to see if there is an hints of high MAP around that speed. I didn't really pay attention to it since I was more working on cruise in town. Yes the cam was degreed when it was installed. I had it in 4lo a couple nights ago doing some hole shots in the mud when I went to pull another truck out. all the guys out there could say was OMG thats a v6?, so yes it comes to life with more rpm.
