I just use the information on the cam card to set my cam timing. (usually
at .050" lift on the #1 intake) and advance from there. I see about a
degree of cam retard due to chain stretch so I go a degree advance to begin
with.  I also check the cam events to confirm the grind.

I’m not sure what you mean by “set the cam.”  

This describes the centerline method of degreeing a cam:
http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/116-0701-how-to-degree-a-camshaft/ 

while this other web page describes the valve open/close timing method:

Next weekend she will go to Spa for the next race. But for me it is more a testing combat situation.
She is still not there where I want her to be.
