Well, maybe I screwed up by not degreeing my cam. I just installed mine without degreeing it. Seems to run pretty strong. I didnt know a cam could be manufactured a few degrees off. It seems like it runs good, think I should degree it before getting the tune done?

Quick question for you guys. How can someone degree a cam WITHOUT cam card?
A friend just installed a F13 @112 LSA with LT, catted Y-pipe, LS6 intake, PnP TB, SLP lid and some stuff I forgot (NO UD PULLEY). After dyno tune he only has 368rwhp and run best 12.7@110mph.
Something seems wrong either the tune or the cam install. He doesn't have the cam card, so can he still degree the cam?

Oh, my cam doesn't come with cam card also. However the seller gave me the cam spec like Valve Timing, Duration, Lobe-Center Angle, Intake Centerline, Valve Lift, Lobe Lift etc. Can I still degree my cam?
He also gave me this info:
Intake Open Close
25 BTDC 69 ABDC
Exhaust
76BBDC 24ATDC
What does that means?

As long as you have some basic information on the cam...that is CORRECT..... you can degree it! Most important is the intake centerline that it is supposed to be installed on. The other info just lets you verify valve events,lift, etc... if you so choose.

yeah if you look up the instructions you'll see the ICL is the variable that your making sure is where its supposed to be. you can also use lobe lift, and duration just to double check you got the cam you are supposed to have. but the real point it to make sure your intake center line is where it is supposed to be "installed".
