I am guessing all the guys that don't degree camshafts either have Cam Doctors in their tool boxes to check their cams or just blindly trust the manufacture?
Personally I have had three cams from two major manufactures come in wrong. One was off by 30 degrees on the exhaust side. You would never had found that unless you degreed it. Also how do you know you are getting all the lift and duration you are supposed to?
I'll stick to degreeing camshafts and testing them on the dyno.

i had a customer show me a defective cam that creeped open like .005" lift over a period of 90 degrees of rotation when it should have been closed, then began to open normally for the rest of the lift. the motor would have had zero compression and burnt valve seats if it ever started.
most cam cards seem to be a little off in my experience.

Re: (mike_belben@yahoo.com)
is anyone willing to rent a tool to me? im willing to pay a fee and/or deposit
just not feasible for me to buy the tool right now, and i really need to get it done before i go to tune.

I was in the same boat as you, only needing the tool for a single use. What I did was use a magnetic base and dial indicator attached to the head by a piece of angle steel on either side. I used the power steering bracket bolt hole for the exh cam and the engine lift point hole for the intake cam. This method DOES take a little more time to complete but is effective for ~$45.
Maybe I can post some pictures Wednesday.

Re: Why Degree Camshafts
Degreeing is cool to set the cams at peak lift but that is about it.
The most useful thing to check is v2v clearance and p2v clearance; Degreeing isn't necessary.
When I was degreeing my motor, the cam settings that were "degreed" were actually in an unsafe area on my v2v clearance chart so I decided to just play with the gears on the dyno. I set them where they made the most power and haven't had issues.
