Maybe I am missing something here, but in my experience most cams are ground straight up and installed either retarded or advanced based on how it will be used. Why not have the cam ground in the normal way and use and offset bushing or an offset cam key to achieve proper retard. I prefer the bushings, such as these. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=MRG%2D85&autoview=sku Bill Huff At 9/19/200808:05 PM, Bob Jasinski wrote: >So far I have heard three different retarded degree ratings on the cam >sprocket for the F & G 413.
