degreeing small block cam
Definately get the keyways and degree it to where the cam manufacturer recomends.
I had a "new" 340 that someone else built and installed the cam "straight up". It ran like crap and wouldn't pull over 5,000 rpm. We took it out and degreed it, it was supposed to be at 104CL. This dumbass had it at 118. It was a wonder the thing even ran at all!! Unbelievable!!
MAKE HIM DO IT RIGHT THE 1ST TIME!
