Topic: do the index lines on an aftermarket cam still hold any merit?

I'm serting up a 125-75 and started with the index lines. I was going to go from there and set it based on the lobe centers, but after followng the index lines and pulling evertthing back 105* to set the intake lobe center, its no where near the top of the lobe.

Got it. Thanks again mike rieck. With the cylinder and the head being decked, along with several other factors. The cam is set about 2 degrees off of the stock index configuration.

So... Yes. Yes they gots that merit.
