so what type of performance issues would arise going dot to dot vs degreeing? has anyone experienced a "revelation" when degreeing as in the car **** and git way better than dot to dot?
Plenty of folks have found 'dot to dot' to vary significantly. The point of degreeing is not 'better performance' but instead it's done in order to KNOW your cam is in correctly. Assuming it's done right is asking to be proven wrong. It's relatively quick and easy to do, and should not be skipped.
If it's not in correctly, and it wasn't degreed, finding out after the fact can be a real pain in the ***. A cam that's too far advanced from intended installed CL can cause detonation and kill the engine. One which is way retarded may crash the valves into the pistons and also destroy the engine. Even if the engine survives, performance may not match the intention of the chosen cam - advanced cams make more low end, retarded tend to have higher HP peaks but will be a dog down low.
