laddanator Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Question for you push rod guys. I'm installing a B303 cam in my DD 94 GT. I understand that there is better cams out there, but I'm old school and I like the old school letter cams. Now that we have that out of the way, since the B303 cam is setup for 4 degree advance from the factory, I was told that it didn't require a degree. How many of you that have used the letter cams, not degree it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I would just degree it. Simple step and it just ensures you're getting the most out of your combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musturd Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yea I'm with them on degreeing the cam . I would have chose the E or F cam over the B just my 2 cents . I had a f303 in my old combo and it wasn't a bad cam with gt40 heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'd just install it straight up, I was taught degreeing was just to change the powerband of the cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also a way of making sure your cam is ground correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 After all of the cam installations I have done, degreeing each one. I have yet to find ONE camshaft that was ground incorrectly, or needed adjustment to set the proper specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefedhatch Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I almost chose a B cam for my combo (gt40p,full bolt ons,etc.) Instead I've chosen to retard the stock HO cam, and add the cobra 1.72's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddanator Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I have the b and did not degree it. All the research I did on it suggested not toSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I ended up degreeing it, but dot to dot location was perfect. I'm pretty sure dot to dot is perfect for all letter cams. Small idle clip with my new cam. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=579172445559632&set=vb.100004006468267&type=3&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not degree-ing it is the right way to go, simply put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiplash473 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Lol wut?Good lord, my brain was fried during CAD class when I typed that. Revision: it doesn't take that much time to degree a cam especially when you take into consideration the time/work it takes to swap a cam. Definitely degree it so it's done right.
