I have just installed a brand new 6.5 long block in my 94 GMC Suburban and have some ? about the timing. I have read or heard of some #'s to shoot for when I take it to the dealer to get it timed. Is this something to wonder about or not.
Thanks

factory spec are somewhere around -.25 thru -.85 most people like more. Max performance is -1.94 but it is extra rattly

If I have it set for max performance will it shorten the life of my NEW engine. All it does now is pull my travel trailer about 4-5 times per year.

Thanks for your reply
