Cam install question

Hey guys so I'm getting cam installed by friend at dealership it's a stage 2 weapon x cam (tsp made) and it came with all necessary equipment to install pic of everything included listed below with ls7 lifters. Well he is almost done installing the cam but told me he ran Into a hiccup and that he has a 0° phaser limiter and not the lt4 4° limiter. And per some instructions he saw on tsp website it says 4° needed for lt4 but there's is 32% fuel lobe and my weapon x one is 38% . I'm almost 100% positive whatever weapon x sent is accurate and needed but want to be safe as he tried to contact them but they have been busy so unable to make contact for passed two days. Now idk why he says it's a 0° phaser limiter cause part number from picture I took show's it's the lt4 phaser limiter part number (comp cam 5451 ). Any help on would be much appreciated ! Trying to have car finished today .

I did not have any specs when I put the stage 1 supercharge TSP / Pray cam in. I think my limiter is 20 degrees... which is the only one I could find on the TSP site. My cam is small though. As long as the tuner knows, there should be no issues.

Same goes for the lobe, is it 32% or 36%, there is .35mm more lift (.014"). The only real problem is to make sure your lash cap is installed via measurements. Your friends dealership, better know what they are doing or read up on it. You can't just put the lash cap on and hope. If the mechanic has not ground a lash cap to fit, take it to a real shop.

So does the degree vary from build to build ? I've only heard of 4&0 degree limiters . My car has a 38% fuel lobe

0 degrees is better from what ive heard. Apperantly there are issues with the vvt going crazy due to fluctuations in oil pressure, so most tuners like o degrees. It will be just like a regular cam if you talk to cam motion,mti, even tsp they prefer 0 degrees. Fuel lobe overdrive percent has nothing to do with vvt

Nice! It's just weird cause on tsp site it says lt4 needs 4° and not the 0 and weapon x gave me a zero so I figured what they sent me was exactly what I needed.

We locked mine out, no vvt. I was orginally going that route but changed since I really only drag race mine. Just drove it the first time today. Kinda nasty I'd say
