What motor do you have? Always start at zero and work from there. Every engine reacts differently so it's impossible to tell you which way to go. The dyno won't lie.

This is at least the 3rd one of these I've seen in the past week.
Cam gears are not an exact science. What works for one car may not work for another. The only way that you can reliably tune them is on a dyno with someone who knows what they are doing. If somebody tells you that -5,+3 works great always, they're lying cause it don't. Take it to a dyno and test it.

Or if you want to mess around, feel free to screw it up and get less performance than you do now (or worse) in every test but the butt dyno.
