Default Degreeing a Cam...

For those of you that have installed an LT4 hot cam, have you degreed it when you did? I've heard some people say you do everytime, others say it's not necessary. Any thoughts?

It is a lot easier to do during the install, versus going back later and checking it.
Absolutly necessary,... No (Use a new chain, put it in straight up, en go)
Tuning for best performance, yes

You can NOT degree a cam in an Opti car without doing some real custom work to the Opti itself. If you degree the cam you screw up the opti reference. That is what I was told by several people when I was looking into this during my install.
