It's not the LSA or ICL that Determines if it's done dot to dot; in a perfect world all cams would be ground to spec, but that doesn't always happen. And the cam that you hold in your hand that you believe is a 112 can be a 110 or even a 108. Degreeing a cam assues that it is installed @ the correctly, Dot to Dot can be a coin toss...

Or you can have it cam doctored after it is ground for a little more insurance how the cam turned out.

I'm not positive on this, but I think a 9.1:1 DCR is going to be tougher to run with pump gas. I've heard 8.8 DCR and less for pump gas motors.

I'd just guess that the cats got 5 hp or so, maybe a little more but not much. The headers run to Ghl bullets which are similiar to Borla's. Cutouts would probably increase it some, but probably not alot.

Also, the exhaust came first, then the 4:10's, headers and now the cam. Wasn't sure I wanted to open the motor up at first and the gears gave it a nice SOTP improvement.

If this turns out right can it be installed dot to dot or is degreeing still needed. Where can I buy a cam doctor ? Degreeing requires the cylinder head to be removed correct.?

So just so I have this straight, the dot to dot method does not ensure the cam is installed to the advance ground in the cam? This can only be done with an adj timing chain? How can people install dot to dot if this is true? So my cam is probably just at like -2 instead of +2? I just dont understand how that happens. Sorry I am ignorant on this one. Thanks for the help

yes, i believe that lining it up dot to dot, it can be off by as much as 4*, an adjustable timing set is required to find out if, and how much, you are off, and to correct it.
your cam might be dead on where it should be, but it is probably off alittle.

for most people installing it dot to dot is good enough, it gets the car running, and they are not concerned if it is making every bit of the power that it should.

i don't know of any specifically, but degreeing a camshaft is not a hard thing to do if you have a degree wheel.

And if you don't have a degreeing wheel? Aren't they like $100 or something. I just don't want to screw up my motor trying to degree the cam when it works perfectly fine right now. thanks

Ya Ive read that many times when I was looking for my cam. I read the degreeing section once or twice, but just suck to spend another $300+ (adj timing, wheel) and then tear down motor to change this. And I know a guy that had an adj timing set and blew the motor cus of it. But if I can pick up 20rwtq that might be worth it.

Correct if I am wrong.I could use 15 % but that would be more
This varies somewhat and the highest I've heard is + 8%. As someone else mentioned some of the Mustang dynos are configured by the tuners to read the same as the Dynojets.
