how to set up for a hot cam

I recently discovered the previous owner of my '68 912 installed a hot cam. The displacement and solex carbs are stock. The distributor is an 055. All smog control has been removed.
I have the box that the cam came in. It is labeled as a TRICOM 105. It was purchased from Performance Products in the early 90s.
Does anyone have experience with this cam? Does anyone know the specs on the tricom-105?
How and what do I adjust to use stock displacement and carbs with this cam? Am I going to need different jetting?

No worries here.

It is not a bad grind. It increases your top end rev limit to about 6500 rpm. It is set up like stock on the valve lash.
It will idle and feel like the stock cam since it is very close to an SC grind. You'll be fine.
Good Luck, JMB
