If you check it much more the chain will be stretched. As long as you keep coming up with the same reading each time. I put in a new cam, chain & gears last season and when I pulled the engine back apart this winter, the cam was retarded 4.5 from where I set it.

I have won a lot of rounds and some races cutting .02 and .03 lights. I have also won with a .013 light with .002 over the dial, the other car cut a .009 light and ran .023 over It sounds like your running a tough crowd BTW, I use to strive for .00+ lights and dial .02 to .03 soft and try to drive the other end better, I lost a lot of races due to -.498 and .499 reds Oh well If you can cut .01 and .02 all day long the other guy will have to beat you( I wish could still do that ), especially in a foot brake no electronics class Congratulations on the performance improvement Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
