what would you recommend trying for my setup?

I recommend you start at zero, or "straight up". Regardless of car. I have seen adjustable cam gears installed on many cars. And find your own sweet spot.

right now they are untouched just took off the stock ones and threw these on.

i know i should only adjust about 2 degrees at a time. But what are some things to look for and watch out for while doing this to know you are improving i'm all about safe power before raw power

What are some characteristics you will see as far as going Advanced/Retard for both Intake and Exhaust

 

[Nick M]

Do you know the general rule of thumb? Advancing the intake to open sooner or retarding the exhaust to open later both increases overlap, and shifts the torque peak higher in the rpm range. There is probably a sticky somewhere (google) that says 5 degrees on 7MGTE stock did, whatever it did.
