The problem with degreeing the cam is that there is only so much you can do. The timing gears are not adjustable - I suspect that if the cams were not aligned properly you would have PTV contact.

I've installed cams many times - only once did I degree the cams, this was after I had issues to begin with, and it didn't make a whole lot of difference. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, I'm just not sure that it would make that much of a difference.

Do you know what your cam profile is? Maybe the cam itself is not appropriate for the application? I'm still thinking that the numbers may not be that out of wack, unless, your torque numbers are super low.

Also - check your intake track for any signs of oil. I had a procharger and it puked oil all inside my intake - that in itself could cause problems.
