We have installed multiple Kelford cams in alot of engines here, the setup may be the same next to each other but the cam gear settings have been different.

Here is a good write up to follow by:

I'm guessing that can't be done without taking the engine off right?

You can do it with the motor in the car. Just have to figure out how to get the degree wheel onto the crank so you can see it.

Degreeing and using kelfords centerlines will not yield best power.

Not much testing has been done on their side at all.

Wow for the price they charge you would think some testing would have been done.
