Any help where to degree it would be greatly appreciated. Its in an 85 camaro with a q-jet carburetor.
Like Bill said, If the person who spec'd the cam for you said to put it in there, then do it. If your going by suggestion, its just that. Now if you were to list the car's combo and engine combo, you may get some opinions on where to put it

If the guy who spec'd it had it ground with 4° advance, and you want to put it in 6° advanced based on a suggestion you will most likely not be able to tell the difference on a bracket engine. On a class engine, you may be able to tell the difference between 4° and 6° advanced by ET's and on the Dyno
