Agreed. Completely. However, if a dyno isn't in your future, the best method to determine the optimum cam timing for any specific engine is to install the cam in several positions (+4, +2, 0, -2, -4, -6), and run a compression test in each. Which ever cam position creates the highest compression is the best cam position for that specific engine.

Take care,
