Another question b4 ordering cams

[hotstang_46]

so i've ordered everything for my current project but cams. I'd like to order on monday...but I'm still a little confused about what to do regarding the cams and degreeing.

I had my heart set on the comp xe270's, but with the 4 degrees advance ground into em i knew degreeing would be 100% necessary to avoid PTV contact. question is do I HAVE to degree with a competitors stage II cam..like say a crower stge III or VT II? If i don't have to, I really won't miss the extra tenth i could get in the quarter mile by doing so....If i'm going to have to degree regardless, does anyone know where i can find a complete degree kit? I've seen one's from comp and others but they are missing a solid lifter ( which i need right?) where can i go find a complete kit?

I guess the only other option is to go with a stage 1 cam...but i'm afraid I'd be losing out with my patriot stge II heads

I really do want the xe270's...but the whole degreeing thing has me all confused... I don't even see a complete kit out there with everything I'll need to do it. If i can avoid the degreeing with say the VT II's and only lose out on a couple horses by not degreeing and have no PTV issues I'd rather do that i think... but can i even do that?

I dont think you have to degree the VT Stg2 Cams. Get on ModularFords and ask Scott in the VT section and he will be able to tell you. I know with my VT Stg2 Blower Cams I didnt have to.

I believe the VT stg 2s can get away W/O degreeing, but I would NOT take the risk....the VT stg 1s, yes you can get away with it.

www.vtengines.com call them up and they can get you everything you need to be able to degree your engine....and im postitive they will explain the basics.
