The main issue with that will be piston to valve clearance! What short-block are you running, or more importantly, do you have valve reliefs in your pistons?

+3 advance will improve your DCR and the resulting midrange torque and power. You will also lose some intake P/V clearance.

Advancing a cam, opens the Int valve sooner and closes it sooner, bringing the power earlier in the band and making the cam more exhaust bias. Basicaly it shifts the powerband a bit sooner.
On a cam like MS4, it will not make a huge difference since the Intake closing IVC is allready beyond most intake manifold flow capabilities (LS6/FAST) so it will not affect your top end dramaticaly but it will make the cam even harder to tune because of reversion increase.
