Default Timing question.

I was having problems with my timing. it would only ren with 30* of timing. I found out the timing marks were wrong. I had a guy that owns a race shop tell me how to find zero on the balancer and remark it with timing tape. so i did and now it says that its at 2* of timing. could that be right? the guy that owns the shop tuned my motor by ear. and it runs harder than it has ever run before. I went home and did the timing thing and its set to 2*. Could that be where the motor runs best? it seems a little low.

Hell its hard telling, base timing is 10, you thought it was 30, which is super high, so maybe the new marks wrong, maybe it just runs best a 2 degrees, if you like it how it is then leave it i guess............
