cam timing - 1 tooth = how many degrees?
i was setting up to check P2V on my LS2 and decided to check the degree on my cam for the hell of it. it came out to 100. i dont have my cam card in front of me but it should be 106 to 110 area....the cam is a howards 236/242 .612/.612 110 LSA. i dont know if it has any advance ground into it but i know 100 is not right. the cam is sitting dot to dot. how much degree change should I see by moving it over 1 tooth?

I would still look for the actual cam card to make sure you got the right cam.

so what should i do? i never used to check the timing on cams. i will for now on lol. i found the cam on howard's website and it has 4* of advance ground in so it should be sitting on a 106 icl. i'm getting 100. shitty luck! why couldnt i figure this out before buying a new OEM cam gear? now i need to find an adjustable setup.

you're awesome kyle. so i either need to set it to a 108 icl and live with it, or get an adjustable timing setup and get it to 106 where it belongs. i'm going to be pissed if i buy an adjustable timing setup and then end up having to cut my pistons becaus this cam doesnt fit. it is my luck lately.
anyone know which direction i should move the cam gear to advance it that 8*?
