You say that you have done thousands of engines and never degreed a stock motor,




Just for clarity, I never said that.


The point I'm trying to make, though, is that DEGREEING a cam to whatever the grinder specked does not guarantee that is what you are going to want. So without trying it, establishing a baseline, and then deciding to advance/ retard it from there is simply shooting in the dark



Yes, you need a baseline but without doing the job you will be pondering about what to do without a clue.
