Yellow book says the VP8C is 102° LCA, IMO that's about where you would (conventionally) time it in at.
But the book doesn't specifically say.

... you could always contact atp? :idea:

Also if its a cam that you've bought recently, what it says in the yellow book might not apply, they're proflies are constantly changing. I was looking at a VP3 about a year ago and the spec has changed since the yellow book was written.
