Default Advancing a camshaft????

I was curious if any of the sponsers/board members have played with advancing of any of the camshafts out there to date?

Example,Lets say have a HP PEAK of 6500 and a 4700 TQ PEAK but it carries it to 6800 and 5000 then drops off.Now if u were to advance the cam 2 to 4 degrees I assume it would make MORE TQ at a LOWER peak and peak the HP alittle lower too?

I have been tech assisting a vendor/board member.
He has a 218/224 cc with 5 degrees of advance ground in.

The car stops making power at 6000 on the dyno.

While I think he has other problems.... the extra advance is not helping him one bit. It helps keep the Rpm's low but it sure isnt helping the HP number.

Dang, I really dont like that cam. (personal opinion)

Wow,5 degree's?
That cam doesnt warrant an advance that big

I ran that cam w/S1 heads
Results were 11.55@116 in good air.
It worked well for me....

I just wanted to know it I would see 200rpm shaved off the peak?
