I believe LE cams are meant to be installed with a specified intake centerline(ICL), not advanced nor retarded from 'straight up'. At least four mechanical factors may cause the installed ICL to be off:
1) location of keyway in crank nose
2) location of keyway(s) in crank sprocket
3) locaton of dowel hole in cam sprocket
4) locaton of ICL on cam to dowel pin.
There are other things, of course.
Unless you have the cam checked (extra cost option from Comp not often specified by customers), any combination of the above factors could cause the ICL to be off when installed dot-to-dot. Determining which factor(s) were off would be fairly difficult.

Great runs Javier. Didn't mind playing cameraman for that car. It sounded sweet and took off the line SO HARD. Amazing passes, was definitely a treat seeing that car launch with me right next to the tree.
See that thing at Moroso in a few months when the weather gets nicer

It's installed "dot to dot" but I used a offset crank key to advance it 2*. The cam when checked was off by 2* and this fixed it dead nuts.
