    +4 is 4 degrees of advanced timing ground into the cam.

    Gives you a very good reason to run premium fuel.


    It advances the timing 4 degrees. Most of the time...I would assume it makes it easier to install the cam. Cams tend to have an install degree point...but most install straight up dot-to-dot. So in this case...when installing dot-to-dot it would have the proper install degree already there.

    For some reason I can't really come up with a good explanation for what advanding the timing does right now. Must be too early.

    HR means Hydraulic Roller. a 114 +4 means 114 (intake centerline) ICL ground +4 advanced. the max lift point on the intake lobe is at 114* moved to 110*. normally, the LSA and ICL match. but not always. by advancing the cam, it opens/closes the valves sooner. by doing this, it has more low end power. by retarding the cam, it takes away low end and makes more top end power. generally, we are talking about a 400 rpms difference given the exact same cam specs.

    now why don't they just grind it to 110 LSA? rough idle, hard tuning, very narrow power band to name a few.
