Is it an FTI cam or a cam that is supposed to be degreed? If not, I would leave it alone. It's more helpful for you to give us information like what type of cam is being used and what the application is.

Its a ford racing b-cam

Install it straight up. Advancing or retarding the cam would create more headaches than help.

Yeah, dot-to-dot will be just fine.

I'd suggest doing it, I just did mine dot-to-dot, and it was 4° off. How the cam is degreed also effects piston to valve clearance.
