Default 4 degree advance for gear driven cams???

Does anyone out their make a 4 degree advance gear for gear driven cams? I know there is an advance key set that woods sells too. Also, anyone have good results using an Andrews 55G cam with a 4 degree advance on it's timing?
Thanks

Have never seen an advance gear for gear driven cams but if anyone makes one, it will be Andrews; give them a call.

It has always been my belief that one has better results with a cam that can be run straight up. When you advance a cam set, everything is advanced and overlap changes as well; just not my cup of tea but each to his own.

I understand your thoughts. I prefer that too except they don't make a woods 777 for early twin cams so the next best thing would be the Andrews 55 with a +4 key. However, I would prefer to leave the exhaust timing right where it is.
Any suggestions for cams? I do not want aggressive ramps. I've had it up to my eyeballs with valve train problems!

You can also use those to retard cam timing and to push off a tick more mid-upper, and pull ccp from a build if need be.
