Default Skunk2 Cam Gears - Quick Question

Can someone tell me how many degrees each mark is on these cam gears?

Thanks!

Are you sure? Their website says the gears mark +10/-10 and there are 5 marks on either side of the center mark. Wouldn't this mean each mark = 2 degrees?

buy another gear. next question?

here is a fun way to see it in real time, y0. set your distributor timing to 14BTDC at 0 on the intake cam. set the cam gear at plus 1 on the gear, you will be at 16BTDC without reclocking the distributor. I actually use this method to make sure I know how far I have advanced the gear, I lock it down where I want it, then chase timing after I have the setting I want

Why buy another gear? What are you actually saying? Skunk2 gears are lame?

they are just inconvenient to use in IMO. the fasteners are right on top of the etch marks which become hard to see after a while. not to mention the backing plate is made of aluminum which is soft metal. any amount of over-tightening will strip them over time. I want a -10/+10 gear thats more robust for my next set.
