Most of the pickup was from middle track on. Since most of my racing is 1/8th mile anymore I'm looking at trying to get more out of my car in the 1/8th. If I were to install the .590 cam (which was installed straight up) in my last motor would it be beneficial to advance it this time and if so how much?

My current engine is a different 440 with 10.9:1 with TF 240s (With the .557 cam installed straight up car usually is a 1.48 60ft, high 6.70s and 10.70s at 122mph)
Proform 850 carb
Victor 440 intake
8" coan 5000 stall convertor
727 footbraking
Dana 60 with 4.56
Car weights 3150 lbs with me.

I shift at 6,000 and try not to spin the motor over 6,500.
My is in at 104. I think 101-102 would be better. Mine is 446,13/1, Indy ez , M1, 5200 convertor 3.91.Just put 4.30 in it, haven't ran it yet. 10.82 @126 best . I guess about 3400 w/me . 68 fastback cuda. My 60ft sucks best is 1.54.
