Degreeing my Performer cam

[64nailhead]

Do you have it installed straight up or advanced?

It is in the 4 degree advanced, the Triangle marking on the crank gear.

So that sounds right at 4 advanced. 105.5 would be straight up.

I am installing it straight up, it will probably work best at that.

I would aim for as close to straight up on the advanced side you can hit. Hopefully it will hold true and come up at 105.5.

This cam is supposed to be installed straight up.

This cam is supposed to be installed straight up.

That is Edelbrock's recommendation. I know Dale Robinson supposedly would advance it till it had maximum cranking compression. This one looks close enough for me to run. I have ran this exact cam before, it is used, I just never checked it with a degree wheel.
