To get optimal performance and to cover your ***, you should degree any set of cams you put in your car. Granted, its more of a must when you deal with Comps because of the advance ground into them.

Go with stage 1 if you are not going to do anything else.
Stage 2 if you are building the whole motor.
Blower cams if you plan on supercharging

Its unrealistic to try to buy a cam now in planning on building the motor later. If your build the motor, your going to want a custom grind, or at least more than a stage 2 cam is going to offer.

RE: comp vs. VT

The cam timing should always be set or "degreed" during installation to ensure the engine runs properly and to avoid contact between the valves and the pistons. The rotation of the cams has to be timed correctly in relation to the crankshaft. There are some really good cam threads on here that can explain it way better than I can.
