I want to install the mutha thumpr cams in my 07 gt and was looking into cam degree. I was just told since my car has vvt it isn't really necessarily needed to be degreed. Is this correct?

No it isn't, especially not for NSR cams like that.

No. Set cams at straight up, "degreeing" is done by VCT and your tuner to achieve power and driveability.
