To be sure the valve events are where they were designed to be, you will need to degree the camshaft in. There are many variables that can throw those events off including the camshaft, timing set, machining of the block, and and more. Most DIY'ers just line them up dot to dot because they do not have the tools to do it the right way, and that is an investment they might not ever use again after the one cam install.
I guess it really comes down to how important the valve events are to you. We degree all of the cams in that we install here at the shop.

If you got a cam card with the cam and its correct, that lowers the percentage that something is going to be wrong. If your not racing in NHRA stock class where every HP is important, than install it dot to dot, rotate it 360 degrees and reverify its dot to dot then button her up!
