   How do you reckon you set your cams properly. is there instructions on how far to advance or retard the timing. how do you think people like chipwizards get it right?

   Chipwizards adjust the cam timing using the standard verniers, then adjust the fueling on the ECU, it's quite complex and not something ot get right yourself!

   when i spoke to chipwizards they told me how much to advance/ retard each cam pulley to get it to run okayish to get it to them for a map.
   
   is that the kind of thing you want to do, fit cams then take it for map if so give them a ring.
