3.4 dohc timing question, searched but could not find.

ok, i tryed 13* and 10* retard exhaust cam, but neither fit what i wanted to get out of the car, i want a fun daily driver, those timing markes left hard starting and rough idle (along with doggy low end). anyways, i dont have a timing tool, all i have is a cam hold down, and marks on the engine block to get me to 13 and 10. so decided that i might want to try something closer to 6/6 but without the timing tool i cant get exactly 6adv int, and 6ret exh. but i can guestimate and probaby get like 2/3 or 3/5 or 4/2 etc. i was wondering if anything that is adv intake and ret exhaust will give benifits of the 6/6 but just less of it, or will a wierd combo give me worse performance than stock?

i figure the more ret on the exhaust will give more high end HP, and more adv on intake (up to 6*) will give me more TQ. correct me if im wrong.

Bump.

I'm going to run a Fiero setup too and need to know timming specs. I was told that I would want to give the motor a better top end power because I'm running a Getrag 282.

Would someone with experience please chime in on timming?

What specs do what; what are the basic rules of timming on the 3.4 DOHC (Advance = more what, Retard= more? ) What setups are proven to be good ones?
