anyone degree their cam?

I think most of us have degree'd our cams but unless you try different combo's on a dyno, like the magazine did, you'll never know what produces the best results. You may not get the same results as they did by doing the same thing. Most cam grinders build a couple degrees advance into their grind so a few more when you install your cam may hurt and not help. Degreeing your cam is to adjust for mis-machining of the cam and timing components. Contact your cam company for specific instructions. tmm
