I wouldn't follow the factory specs on where to put the ICL, I'd put it where it *needs* to be. Factory 5.0 cams, if I remember correctly, had retarded cam timing, I think somewhere around a 118° ICL.

If you want the engine to have some snap down low, I would advance it or at least run it straight up.
