Many will assume a cam will have apprx 4 degrees of advance ground into it, and most I've installed were at or very close to where they needed to be. Still a good idea to check them and move if/as necessary.

I would add here that ALL the "RAIV" cams I've installed, whether it be Melling, Crower, Comp, Lunati, Howards, etc all came in right at 112-113ICL "dot to dot" Except for Melling each cam showed slightly "juggled" or different specs as the 041 cam on the specs provided with them. I supsect that is simply done to make it look like something they ground "in house" when it reality it was simply purchased and "re-boxed" with a little mark up.

The SAME thing happens with the "generic" 204/214/112 and 214/224/112 cams. LOTS of folks sell those cams, specs may be slightly different, but I'm betting they are all the same camsaft.......
