Ok I have a new timing chain and gears and everything is lining up as it should, must have been the wrong gears also.
My question is when degreeing this cam it looks like at has 4 degrees advance built in, should I install straight up or 4 degrees retarded?

I would check the cam timing with the degree wheel, and adjust it as necessary to have it installed where I wanted it.

Which is the same thing I would have done with the other timing set.

Without checking it, you have no idea where it is.

Degree it so it is advance 4 degrees on the intake lobe like Comp wants it up scope
Advancing it will give you more tire spinning bottom end also whistlingdevil wrench up

With the multiple keyways get it to 106 or as close to that as you can & do check piston to valve clearance. As said a lesser # is advancing it & moves the powerband RPM range lower & retarding it (a higher #) raises it. Start with 106 & go from there.
