First time cam degree

turbovan said

More research shows I'm using the wrong wording.
When I originally said "straight up" I meant dot to dot...which is wrong.

So straight up would be 112 like yellow rose stated when answering my original question.

"Dot to dot" or where the manufacturer recommends install is 107 as IQ52 stated.

Is this right? Or am I confusing myself further...

According to me you are correct. In a perfect world, if the cam manufacturer ground 5 degrees advance in the cam, dot to dot would be 107 Lobe Center (or ICL) right where the card says it should be. When a cam is installed @ 112 ICL on a 112 LSA, I call that straight up. Some people do not. Some people call dot to dot straight up. But at least when I'm talking you know what I mean.
