I just installed a Steeda #19 camshaft in my car... I know that you can degree a cam, advance it forward and get a little more low end torque, and retard it to get some higher rpm power... But the question is, has anyone used this camshaft or equivelant and know if it is suppose to be degreed. Most performance cams i know already are degreed and are suppose to be set a 0, but i was wondering if anyone had any experience with a supercharged application... Thanks

I would just set it at zero. Advancing it and retarding it can sometimes get a little more power out of it, but can also mess it up.

Thats what i know... And its a specialty camshaft, so i'm assuming 0... I already have the timing chain back in it... But i thought maybe someone had experience with this cam or one like it and maybe had some luck out of advancing it.... Who knows, don't really have intentions of changing it, just wanting some input if someone had experience with it....

Pretty much all cams should be set at zero. A lot of different aspects are involved in retarding and advancing a cam, you got to research a lot of things concerning your setup in order to safely do so.

The best thing to do would be to call up Camshaft Innovations and talk to Jay Allen. He will tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to it.
