First time cam degree

turbovan said

I'm having a rough time and I feel like I'm missing something...
The number I'm arriving at on my engine through the intake centerline method as described by comp is 110 degrees. But the cam card says the intake lobe center should be 107. Does this not mean I'm 3 degrees retarded if I leave it this way?

No, the cam card doesn't say it goes in at 107. If you add the 107 and 117 and divide by two to get the intake centerline.

That is a piss poor cam card. Summit should do better. If you google the cam number you'll find all the specs and it's ground on a 112. If you get 110 you are right on. There's where I'd put it, and where I'd expect it to be.

Again, summit gives a Shitty cam card. You should be golden.
