I have a B cam and a STS adjustable cam gear in my b230f 8v.
I am just wondering what I should set my adjustable cam gear to so that the car is timed correctly. Currently it's at 7 degrees advanced (which I've been told by multiple people is a lot), and I was just wondering what it should actually be at. I've been told be a few people to just set it to zero, but at this point I don't really know. When we first put the cam in, we set it to I'm pretty sure 9 degrees advanced (honestly idk what we set it to, but we just set it to the same thing as my dad's car that has an A cam in it.) The car did run last time we started it, but it was very choppy (could just be the B cam choppiness). I know I need new engine mounts, which probably doesn't help with the amount of engine rock, but it seemed like a lot of shaking. Help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
This is currently what it's set to:
