The following will be in the manual, but folks have been asking...
Using the tool, you record the position where the cams are set currently, either as they are now, or (preferably) after using the dial indicator. From there you can adjust to advance, or retard, or just make both cams equal (the left or US drivers side is usually adjusted closer to the factory setting).
If you don't like the results, you can adjust again, or go back to the original readings.

Anyhu, your kit is ready to go - well, as soon as I have the new hubs machined.

Heinrich,
I finally got your return - it went to the wrong address! You have already been included in the sold tally above.

I put the first new-and-improved-kit together for shipping! 
(The kit pic in the first post has been updated.)
I hope to have some time to do more work on the manual, later today.

Manual has been updated. I still may make some changes, but it is fairly complete.
I think I have a name for the tool - something simple, and easy to remember: "Zweiunddreißigventilsteuerzeitenanzeiger"

Can you put me down for a 32V set?
I don't want you to repeat yourself, but I am going to be putting everything back together on the 89 from scratch - What does the porsche timing tool you have pictured above do above and beyond what your 32V kit does?

Brendan,
The adapter above screws into the shaft of a dial indicator, to make it possible to measure the lift of an intake follower. It has a bend so that it will clear the camshaft. (You could just as well make one from a coat hanger, and use heat shrink tubing to attach it to the dial indicator.)
The dial indicator method measures the cam lift at a certain point in the engine rotation, in order to determine if the factory valve timing is correct. Once this is set, you record the degree measurement with the ZVA - Zweiunddreißigventilsteuerzeitenanzeiger, this is your base setting. (The quick and dirty method assumes your current valve timing is correct, and you record what you have now.)

At some point, I play with it on my 968...but it may be useless in that application because of the Variocam. Looking forward to the cam tool. Thanks, Ken.

Why is the "b" capitalized?
I have been driving the GT around all day and there is a big difference on the ***-o-meter. Going to dyno next week end hopefully. The Shark runs a lot different. It gurgles more when I lift and is stronger in the 3-4k rpm range. Also much smoother at idle. I am taking it easy for awhile but I did do one run upto 5k and it seriously felt stronger than ever.
Dialing it in as close as we did with your tool had to make a big difference!
