Degreeing Cam Needed???

Here's my 2 cents why it should be checked. If you check it and determine where it is at, after the motor is running, if you're not satisfied with the performance you don't have in the back of your mind, I wonder if the cam's in straight up. I have put them in and seen the cam be off 3 degrees retarded. In that instance, I left it alone and ran it, figuring it would have a little better top end. I wasn't happy with it and ended up advancing it 6 degrees so it ended up advanced 3 degrees and it ran a lot better. Its just that its so much easier when the motor is on the stand.
