cam timing
would 8 degrees advanced cam timing cause a engine to turn over really hard after the car came up to temp the ign timing is at 14 degrees but when the car warms up it will not start until it cools down

RE: cam timing
I can only assume that the powerband for his particular cam is too high, so he figured that by advancing it, he could drop it down a few hundred RPM. I can't exactly recall the precise numbers, but I think it drops about 200 RPM for 4 degrees.
But in my opinion.. if you have to advance the cam to drop the powerband ~400 RPM, then you bought the wrong camshaft to begin with.

RE: cam timing
Anyway......regarding the question.....
Nope.....you either have a heat soaked starter, or the grounds require upgrading.
