Okay. How do I time these cams (cam card info)

You could have fun with that. Include JB Weld somehow and then watch in amusement as your JB Weld instructions get copied and pasted into other "new products"!
Brendan, if they do invite you, make time for it and bring presents. That's definately something worth learning. I'm going to 'degree' cams later today too. I'm so excited!

Is this the "Intro to Cam Timing" class or is this one of the advanced classes? Wish you guys were right down the street or "just a coupla hours" drive from me. I learn much better from doing than reading. I guess I'll just try to get Sterling to come over when I get to that point.

Just mount them up and do it the old fashion way. Start at about 45 degrees before TDC and zero the micrometer. At 20 degrees after TDC, the #1 or #6 lifter should be depressed about 2mm. With a more agressive profile, you might even want to look at 1-1.5mm, because with your 7000rpm motor, you want to have the cams slightly retarded anyway. remember, we did the dyno test with advanced like GT vs retarded like 85s and hp gain was only around 5, and the torque loss was about 20 (peak), at a rpm that I dont use in racing. So.....
There you go, DONE!

fine,then just set it up for 4mm movement at TDC for the intake.
Those cams are nothing like the S3 cams. they start to open at near 45degree BTDC and are at 4mm at TDC. Then, the lift is well over the S3 cams as well.
Anyway, if he just sets it to 4mm at TDC starting from 50 degrees BTDC, he will orient the cams where the cart wants them to be. Right?

I sometimes get myself confused (not too hard) and end up looking at a degree wheel to figure it all out. I'm afraid that my brain would spontaneously combust if I tried to figure out a vario cam. My hat is off to you!

When you have cams ground don't you specify how you plan to install them, straight up or whatever?
Who is bringing the donuts?
I could bring my HF dial guage.

Since then, I have attempted to get the true information on them so I could accomplish this important task, and I just never got a straight answer, other than "when you want to put them in, call us"
That's not how you learn. But I am learning now.
