Ignition timing has nothing to do with valve lift Denny.
Depending on cam timing, at some point in setting the initial timing at the crank, you may have to put in so much timing that the motor will kick back against the starter. You can't just set the timing so that there is no kick-back and expect it to be good. The motor may want more initial timing than that to operate correctly with the new cam.

This is my final post on this subject with you. I seem always to be dragged into an ongoing argument with you over these types of subjects and I've grown a little weary of it. You do as you wish and say what you want to and I'll do the same.

Hey guys don't fight over this thread, I'm just new to all this and I have noted everything everybody has told me and I ain't gonna say something like I know its the rocker arms that flattened the cam I ain't gonna say that I knew the perfect ignition timing I ran 14 degrees and that probably wasn't perfect, I say I think on stuff because its truth I'm not as expereicned as all of yall but thanks for all the help though
