from what I have heard and understood is that on a SOHC you don't get any real gain w/out a cam shaft installed. so you can get a little top end or low end by adavncing and retarding it.

Hope this might help alittle but I'm sure someone has some additional input or first hand experience w/ it.

I would just leave it stock at 0 degrees and say you got a shiney cam gear.
