Default Camshaft Timing Question

Had custom camshafts done, and the builder popped the reluctor wheels off the end of the camshaft, but didn't mark how they go back. I have put them back how I "think" they should go. In the picture, the cam is locked in place with the cam tool, and the edge on the reluctor wheel opposite the number "0" appears to be dead parallel with the top of the head. Can anyone else confirm this if you have a unmolested cam and head sitting around?

Thanks,
Erik

That looks about right - here's a shot of my engine open and the line-up seems the same.

How the heck do you figure out new cam profiles when you have Vario-Cam (or Plus)?

Webcamshafts.com did the cams, so would start there. I have grind #46, for my 2003, 2.7 boxster.
