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.

You may not need an adjustable set, when I degreed my cam it was 1 degree of and I just loosened up the timing chain and move it a little and it was fine afterwards.
