    try 15 degrees. Typically need some more advance with the bigger cams. Assuming the cam is degreed in OK and you have decent map sense for the quads

    One thing u have to be careful of it that the japs run 100 ron fuel and we only get 98 so u wont be able to give it as much timing. I have the same 256 cams portrd big port and quads I tried 15' advance ( diag port bridged) which is 20' advance unbridged and it didn't like it, ATM I've got it set at 12' advance but I've also got cam gears that have been dialed in but I don't know what their set at. I'm running stock big port jdm ecu and S-afc . Idle is lumpy but a 16v with cams will have a lumpy idle.

    Default tuning

    I take it you have a vac line set up (4 lines in to a pot of some sort) to try to get a good signal to the map sensor?

    What cam timing did you set up?

    Default Cam timing

    Rather than repeat it - check this link



    You note 4 lines joined together but is there a vessel to smoothe the pulses?
