If you want more top end power on a camshaft that is ground advanced then you would install the camshaft retarded. The exact numbers and degrees determine the area under the torque curve as well as where in the RPM band the power is transferred. However, you chose a camshaft on the heads that you use and not the other way around. The efficiency of doing this is what Martin mentioned and involves many variables. Usually it is better to use the added torque to get a better 60' time. It depends on your individual setup in the end and what you are trying to do with it.
