Default Best Place To Get Adjustable Timing Set

I've found it as cheap as $150 . . . is that the best I can find??

The reason I'm asking is I picked up a cam from a guy thinking it had 4 degrees ground in . . . comp cams says it has zero!! Do you think I could get by with it, or do I really need to advance it?

Well... First you need to figure out if it really has any advance ground in, or else you will be running +8 degrees.

Second, I got my Rollermaster Double timing set from Texas Speed and Performance. Costs about $90 and works awesome. Lots of other people use it with no problems.

Well, according to the #'s on the end of the cam, it has zero. That is the final word from comp cams. They said if it really had +4, it would be written on the cam, and it is not.

That double roller set adjustable? What are the advantages it has over a single?

its less prone to stretch and should produce less friction with the roller bearings. Scoggin dickey has them for 69 bucks or something.
