Looks like the same thing on yours looks like cams retarded
Intake 118 +-2 Exhaust 108 +-2
I pretty sure this is the reason for lower pressures.
I have my notes somewhere different pressures with all the different cam timings i just need to find them.
By the way 118+ intake timing is over/past the best power curve.
Good luck.

Just remembered,this is a big if, if the exhaust moved to 106 or lower you are very close to having the ex.valves hitting the piston,look at your pistons for marks if so then the low pressures could be bend valves.
Don't mean to scare you but better to check now then find out later.

Pete,
Thanks for all you help and advice. I am starting to actually understand what you are talking about......very scary. I have been reading and trying to be a sponge and I'm all ears. Hey, low 11s and the quickest 350 is doing many things right in my book. I'll pull the heads tomorrow and see what is going on. I am praying that I don't have bent balves or and piston damage.
What causes these to go out of timing like that?
