Advancing or retarding the cam moves the power band up or down. Not by a whole lot but by hundreds of RPMs. Advancing gives you more bottom end and retarding gives you more top end. There's no free lunch though, gaining at one end means losing at the other. A scan of the cam card would be nice as well if Joe happens to have it (just in case I'm wrong and it's a custom grind).
