It'll run great straight up. Have never heard of any discernible power gains running it retarded. Truly one of the best performance cams ever made by Chevy

Running it retarded most likely would have been to kill off low end power when drag racing with stock wide oval tires. That also added slightly more power at high rpm, but if neither of those are what you are after, no need for it.
