get a dti, find the dwell point at tdc of the pistons, then find the lift of the cams at tdc, then put belt on, or just put it to the marks lol
It all depends what spec the cams are - 288 degrees doesnt mean a great deal, without the supporting figures... Assuming that you have deep pocketed pistons, then its pretty pointless running lairy cams on rascal management...
If you run it as is on std marks and on Motronic at best it will run the same, worst case is that it will run like a bag of sheet and lower power/torque...
