Default Cam timing

Just testing myself.
Rotate crank to TDC, #1 cylinder.
Rotate cam to where upmost timing mark.
Just for a baseline timing and adjust form there.

?????

So we got the timing belt back on and i have the cams at a baseline. One problem, the car has no ass-end on the top-end lol.
Has anyone had any luck with setting timing on a LS head that gave them more power? Where did you have your cams set at?

Yes you do. Changing cam timing without being on a dyno (to show results) is like pissing in the dark. You never know if you are missing or hitting.
