You need cam gears and a dyno. If you don't have either of them, you can't do it. Also, cam timing won't do anything if you are using stock cams.

I have skunk2 stage two and have cam gears. I just need to know how to read the cam card and how to degree the cams in. One other thing is this is the first Vtec we have messed around with, adjusting the valves, is it done the same way as the nonvtecs,because of the different lobes just wondering if it is different.

All cars are different, so you may have to mess around with them for a while to get a decent result. You are looking for a gain across the powerband, not peak numbers in a very small range of the powerband.
Valve lash is adjusted the same way on stock cams as it is with aftermarket cams. You are measuring the non-lobed portion of the cam with the rocker arm, so it doesn't matter if the cams have small lobes or if they have huge lobes, because the measurement will still be the same.

What exactly is the point of degreeing a cam? I kept reading and couldn't figure out why they were doing that.
