Get the Moroso offset bushing set. You drill out the dowell pin hole on the cam sproket and insert a bushing with the offset that represents the advance or retard that you want. It's an old school approach, but it works. Otherwise, buy a Comp adjustable timing set and just use the cam sproket on your stock chain.

I did this bushing mod and it is very simple if you use a drill press. If I remember correctly I did not drill hole completely thru cam sprocket, I drilled hole so bushing set slightly below flush.
