Default Cam installation question (Intake centerline)

Ok, I ordered a Comp Cam 226/234 598/599 117. The cam card says that the cam must be installed on a 115 intake centerline.

Does this mean that I need to advance my cam by 2* ?

Do you have the rest of the information on the card? The two degrees is likely ground in.

If it says intake 115º centerline on your cam card, just a couple lines down from the duration and all, then it's ground in I haven't seen any Comp cards that have a recommended ICL, rather they list the ICL they have the cam ground on.

Thanks Matt!!!

Yea, I will post a pic of the cam card when I get home from work.

I just wasn't sure what was goin on. I didn't ask for the 2* of advance, but I will take it, because I was goin to advance it 2-3* anyway.
