Default Ms3 cam degreeing?

I have the MS3 cam and also ordered the LS6 2.5 stage prc heads combo. I dont know if im able to advance the degree of timing or if I have to leave it at 0 degrees for PTV clearence? Anyone have experience with this?in sure this is a popular combo. I just wanted to adv timing to get more power in the lower rpm band for the street. Thanks.

Best way is to just go ahead and check PTV with a degree wheel, checking spring and dial indicator on the retainer or valve tip. Better safe than sorry.

Are you looking for more advance than what was already ground in? Probably around 2+ degrees.
