Lol. Not the first time I have seen such elementary mistakes from a 'big name tuner'...

Well I just did a compression check and on the left bank (drivers side) from front to rear I had 170, 175, 175, 178. On the right bank (passenger side) from front to rear I had 178, 178, 180, 180. I'd say my compression is good

the tune itself wasn't set up to run speed density. After i had looked through some of my past files that i had pulled from other vehicles that i asked to look at. the numbers started to line up on air flow and timing numbers. copy and pasting vehicle to vehicle does not work.

well tommy called him sunday and thats when the tuner started being all nice to me. he is suppose to retune it tomorrow at MC but we will see how it turns out. if it still is the same or there is only a slight increase in numbers im still set to have u tune it. Just tryin to salvage my 350 u know? i told him about the timing being at 24 too. maybe he thought that my cam was already advanced like 3 or 4 degrees, idk. and if i read the cam specs right it isnt advanced any. oem timing is like 27ish right?

Cam advance and ignition advance are NOT the same thing...

they both play in together right? or no? idk. what i mean is they are directly related to each, is that correct? i thought that if a cam was ground to be a few degrees higher that the timing had to be reduced some or am i way off? lol

If you change the cam advance around a lot you may have to run less timing due to the dcr, however, I would say they arent that closely related at all in the way you are thinking.
