Default uberdata & cam gear timing

Alright, just a quick question - Ive tried searching this before, but nothing really applicable to my setup comes up - I need some solid help.

Im running a d16y8 turbo tuned via wideband/uberdata running 7psi internally gated. Ive had an adjustable cam gear (AEM) on my car for a while (pre-turbo), but am wondering now that im boosted - what should it be set to? I know its possible to change the timing via uberdata, so ive been told to just leave the adj. cam gear at 0 and adjust the timing via uberdata. I really need someone to confirm that that's true...and if this was the case, then whats the point of the adj. cam gear? Wouldn't it be almost better to just put the OEM one back on?

the point of adj. cam gear is to adjust the cam timing without haveing to buy a tunning unit, definitely better to use the unit though. the aem might be a fraction of a hair lighter than the stock one
