cam degreeing
ensures the cam is ground correctly and installed like the manufacturer intended the cam to be installed, so everything about the cam that was advertised is actually what you get.
its a critical part of engine building if you want everything to work how you planned them too. i recommend everyone degree there camshafts, i know some dont have the tools or knowledge, but its really not hard and worth the peice of mind. invest in a degreeing kit and adjustable timing set and teach yourself something. its good stuff to know if you plan on building hotrods.

If everything was ground properly like it should be, then just installing it "dot to dot" should always be ok. But, **** happens, and degreeing the cam is a way to double check the cam grinders work.

thanks for the input guys. I saw the cam degreeing kit in the "cam guide" from Comp...the one to use in with engine in car...do any of the sponsors sell this, or do you have to get it straight from comp?

i have one from summit. I've seen the one from comp which is a nice kit and comes with a video. the one from summit comes with the same stuff minus the video. either one will do fine just depends on how much money you want to spend.
off the top of my head i know SDPC, and Byunspeed have them.

OK, the summit degree wheel is 11", and the Comp one that Summit has in 9". Will the 11" fit OK without removing alot of extra stuff? I don't plan on removing heads by the way.
i don't know how to degree a cam, but i asked they guy at the shop who was flow testing my injectors and cc'd my heads, how to do it.
bought a degreeing wheel, and went a bought a 1" dial indicator and a magnetic base holder. and, i guess i will find out soon enough.
heads are off the car, next, timing chain, cam, etc.
