Multiple local LS guys (with more experience than I) claim I dont need to use a degree wheel. Just put it in "straight up" I was a lil concerned about it. Got some more experienced guys that are gonna help me install the cam

 

That is extremely similar to a custom cam grind that Martin (Tick) made for me. Saving up to buy it. Highly recommend you ask Martin his opinion as well.

 

Tick performance? And talk to martin? I guess let him knowthe details of my build/setup and my goals?

 

Regardless, let the vendor know you'd like cam motion to grind it if you decide to go with a custom cam.

 

Ok thanks you

 

I disagree..due to tolerance stacking,your advertised ICL could be way off,whether you put it in straight up or not..degreeing a cam simply tells you what the ICL of the cam is in the motor,it doesn't change anything.
as an example,the last cam I installed was supposed to have an ICL of 109.it was actually at 111..
just my .02,it's your car bro.

 

OP,

Since this is a daily driver, i wouldnt go any smaller than a 228 cam from TSP. If you wanted a bit more, than the Torquer 2 would be the biggest cam i would daily drive. Just do a search. You will see countless threads and vids of those 2 cams.
