George, you're right most people do just align the marks, when putting in a new cam. I for one would never put in a new cam without degreeing it first to make sure of the specs. Also you need to know that everything in your engine is also on the money, you can't equate new with being dead on accurate. I also plug the engine and cams spec into a couple of different computer programs to see what advancing the cam will do to power and torque. My last cam was installed at 4 degrees advanced, and I just picked up my new engine and this cam is intalled 2 degrees advanced. Depends on what your looking for out of your engine.
