New cam install -straight, advanced, retard?

[zam70]

Rebuilt the shortblock...
What is the general thought on Valve timing/degreeing?
Straight up?
advanced?
retard?

Cam is the Ramchargers race cam (224/224)

Thanks

Straight up as most of those race cams are cut with a little advance in them.

You need to degree the cam as per the cam card to make sure it is set correctly. Sometimes they will be off 3-4 degree due to a chain or gear off a bit. Frank
