I totally disagree.I put in plenty of cams in Lt1 motors and LS1 motors and never degreed the cam.If you don't degree the cam you could leave a few Hp on the table.I would degree the cam in a GEN1 motor.

just degree it,its simple,cheap and only takes 10 minutes,skipping this step is like banging a chick without a rubber,you might be sorry,and you might be okay,but i wouldnt do it
