degree cam or not
I degree'd mine. It's a way to make sure the cam is correctly installed and will let you check piston-valve clearance as well, so it's pretty important to check. I've seen a 408 lose about 200hp because the cam was two teeth off. Stock motors aren't so lucky.
^^These two guys above me nailed it. It's not a magical thing you do to make more power. It simply ensures the cam is installed as prescribed. If your timing set is machined incorrectly, or you install the cam a tooth off, you can be way down on power as well as run the risk of major piston to valve clearance issues! Degreeing is simply checking to make sure it is in there correctly!
