Okay guys I bought a 302HO camshaft for my 92 F-150 engine upgrades install well I bought a Cloyes three way adjustable timing set and well I need 8* advance on the camshaft since my intake centerline come out to be 122 which is 7* off of the standard 5.0HO camshaft specs which is 115.8. Since I am putting this camshaft in my truck I need all the low end grunt I can get and by advancing the camshaft 4* past the factory specs that should give me plenty. My question is what timing set will give me 8* advance or retard for a 302 motor?
 
Is it normal to be 7* off of the factory specs on the HO cam after using a degree kit...? I found that my intake centerline was 122 instead of the 115.8 which it should be...
