Adjustable timing set or not?

[Slappy]

I am wanting some opinions on wether I really need to put an adjustable gear set that I can degree the cam with in my mild 360. I have always used the dot to dot method and let it roll. Is using a adjustable gear set that beneificial for my use? Pros? cons? Thanks.

Less critical on mild builds.

Do you want it to run as intended?

I've seen timing sets as much as 8 degrees off one way or the other. You think a car runs bad at real straight up, try one that's 8 degrees retarded.

Degree it and be done, it takes one variable out of play if the engine runs poorly.

Three key way sets are under $50 IIRC
