Ditto! You should degree any cam you install. As far as associated
componentry? You could just do the cam and it would be fine, but if you
want to better utilize a cams potential, I would also consider some throttle
body/intake and exhaust work. Remember what your engine basically is; a big
air pump.

With ANY cam installation you should use a degree wheel. You'd be surprised
on how many timing gear marks are slightly off.
