The cam lobe should be pointing directly away from where the follower contacts the cam. i.e. you want the maximum clearance. Technically, the lift does not start until close to 30 degrees of cam travel, so if you get close to having the lobe in the ideal position you will be OK.

Quick question... When you measure with the feeler gauges is the lobe supposed to be pointing straight up, or perpendicular to the rocker (I think thats what it's called?), with that being about 45 degrees off center towards the driver's side of the car? Hopefully that made sense! Thanks!
