There are certainly legitimate reasons to move the cam timing such as a heavy vehicle with a tight converter or an engine that is rpm limited and/or carb or air flow restricted. In these cases you may see some power and ET improvements but in Goodys case here that is not the problem and degreeing the cam would not have done anything. It is not always necessary to degree a cam. I put engines together all day long and never degree a cam. Why you ask? Because it won't make a difference and there is no way for me to change it anyway so why bother?
