Definitely need to degree them. Don't want to chance the valve hitting the pistons.

Well if you buy Hitech Stage 2 cams they say you don't need to degree them. Those cams also come with free piston notching.

If you're going to the trouble to do cams, you should degree them to prevent PTVC issues and to maximize your hp/tq gain from the install. It is not REQUIRED for a fair amount of cams for these cars.

So then I'd have to remove the heads to do the install?
