Default Does the MTI C2 camshaft have to be degreed????

I'm kind of in a pinch and need a camshaft. I will most likley end up going to MTI tommorrow and buying a C2. My main qeustion is does the C2 have to be degreed or can it be install "straight up" dot to dot. The reason I ask is because I know that the TR cams do not have to be degreed and was wondering if the MTI cams are the same way???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Thanks in advance!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Joe, the cam already has 4 degrees ground in. Install it dot to dot. What happened to the cam you had?
