Oldie but still interesting.......
not sure if this is of any help but Ill stick it up here ( was clearing out old docs )
On the other hand, if the camshaft is retarded, the intake valve will close later (usually sometime during the compression stroke). As you might expect, this drops cranking compression and hurts low-rpm power. But as rpm increases and cylinder filling is aided by the extreme velocity of the air/fuel charge in the ports, a retarded camshaft will help power. Usually, the change-either advancing or retarding-should be less than eight degrees. If you need to go more than that you should consider using a different cam.

Advancing
the cam timing moves the valve opening and closing events earlier in
the cycle. Since the relationship between the intake and exhaust lobes
cannot be changed, advancing or retarding a cam affects both the intake
and exhaust valve equally. Also, the most important thing advancing or
retarding a camshaft affects for engine power is when it closes the
intake valve. For example, if the camshaft is advanced, the intake
valve closes sooner. This typically increases cranking compression on a
high-duration race cam. The result is more torque and power in the
lower rpm ranges. But as the rpms increase, the velocity of the
air/fuel charge in the intake ports also increases dramatically and the
early intake valve closing hurts power.
