I am degreeing this exact cam in my 455 right now. Melling CP 8 Trying to get to Cliff's 109. It has 113.5 out of the box, straight up. Well MINE does. Doesn't mean yours will. 112 is spec, So it's close. I made a key, Closest I can get with the key blanks I have here is 103. I am running a gear drive with no extra keyways. Kinda sux but I like the noise. Not sure how much I'll notice those 4 other degrees. 470cid, 10.6:1 comp, crower cam saver lifters. I Have run Rhoads lots in past, but I prefer the lope. When it's hot and the oil thins, and the idle goes silky smooth, Yuck LOL

Our Milondon gear drive has multiple advance settings by rotating the main gear on its hub. You should be able to get very close to your number -- or do you have another brand?

I see the CAT drive is like a Pete Jackson, dual idler single key, unlike my MILIDON drive that uses 7 bolts on a separate cam hub. IIRC gives about 1 1/2* movement per bolt hole swap. I just went thru this building my 455 back at Christmas with my boys. IIRC i could not get the 108 CL for my cam dead on but ended up at 109.

109 is perfect for High Performance, according to what I've been reading!
