Another question b4 ordering cams

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?
