Default Initial cam degree recomendatations M24X

I picked up a set of M24X cams from Don@DFE last year (year before?) and finally got around to using them. In the meantime, I lost Don's notes on initial cam degree specs. I'd prefer to degree off the low cam lobes but I can lock the vtec lobes if need be - engine is on a stand. Have a Belben degree fixture.

Engine is a RS piston 84.5x89 if that matters, GSR head, S2Pro series IM, 68mm body.

Thanks
-Dave

editing for future searches** The cam gears settings were wrong, after confirming with donf - , i was meaning to post numbers not cam gear settings slowsleeper was correct, donf has done them around 100/101 and 106ish
the vtec lobes / primaries share the same center lines.

depending on what you have for valve-to-valve clearance, degree them to 101/106 on the VTEC lobes of course.

for posterity:

slowsleeper got it right.

101/106 centerlines. According to Rocket, the small lobe has the same centerlines as the big lobe.
