460 timing

I have been told that the 460 cam timing is retarded about 12deg.at the crank.Can this be set to straight up timing,0 at the crank,and will it still run good.also can someone recommend,a good everyday driver camshaft.I have a 1994 F250, 4x4, e40d,and the 460.The engine is stock,the only mod.is a ok&n air filter.Thanks for any help.

If you have a K&N, make sure you keep it clean, and not over oiled. I went back to regular paper elements, because I wasn't cleaning my K&N enough.

I have a 93 460 5 speed and been wanting to warm it up a bit. From what I've read the exhaust ports are terrible on these motors. I found this cam https://m.summitracing.com/search?keyword=Crn%20353901 but I haven't bought it yet. Has a lot more exhaust lift and duration than the intake side, and says it's computer compatible. That and headers should wake it up I would think.
