the whole point of degreeing a cam is that you are just asuring that the dot to dot on your timing set is correct. then if you have an Adjustable? timing set you can move the cam from there. i have rarely seen a point in degreeing a cam unless i was putting a motor together with Cheap/Used parts.

Everything is used minus the cam. Just wanted to make sure I got it perfect and right on the money.

Well I graduated wyotech top of my class, won some fancy awards as well and earning a few ASE certs. Since I've been home I've been working a shit ton but in my free time I get over to my dads place where the car is and have been wrenching on it.
While porting the heads I managed to go through the pushrod wall due to some really bad core shift in the heads. I ended up drilling out the pushrod tubes to .500 and putting . 014" brass tubes in to seal them.  The port work I've very happy with. I was able to get 280cfm out of them at .600 lift and 200cfm on the exhaust side. Along with new cam and eventually the ported manifold it should deff. make some steam. I only went out to a Fel-pro 1205 gasket too, leaving a lot of room for a 1206 to gain more flow. All this through a set of 2.02/ 1.6 valves on a 4.000" fixture. End product so far..

Also picked up some new headers that I'm gonna adapt the flanges onto my hookers. Theyre a brodix spread port pattern/stahl pattern, then I'm gonna step them from 1 3/4" to 1 7/8"
