Default Cam install????

I got a head/cam package. The cam is .566/.566-222-222/112.0. Do you guys install the cam straight up or retarded or advanced? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Unless you have an adjustable timing set or are going to install an offset bushing you will have to install it dot to dot. There is probably advance ground into the cam but you will likely make more top end power installed straightup (this is not necessarily dot to dot).
