    Advancing the camshaft causes the intake and exhaust valves to open and close earlier. This generally increases cranking pressure, low speed power, idle speed, and peak torque but may reduce peak power. It also reduces intake valve to piston clearance and increases exhaust valve to piston clearance. Retarding the camshaft has the opposite effects, reducing cranking pressure and low speed power but potentially increasing peak power. Both advancing and retarding the camshaft beyond certain points could indicate the camshaft size is inappropriate for the engine.

    Cam advance and retard for improved performance

    Cam advance
    Advancing the camshaft (the intake & exhaust valves both open & close earlier) has these
    general effects:
    » cranking pressure (gauge pressure) is increased
    » tendency to knock at low speed is increased
    » low speed power is increased
    » idle speed is increased
    » peak torque is increased, but may be at lower RPM
    » peak power may be reduced
    » intake valve to piston clearance is reduced
    » exhaust valve to piston clearance is increased
    » traction (for ½ mile, &c. racing) is reduced
    » overlap duration is not affected, but engine vacuum may change
    » idle and low speed exhaust note is louder, due to both earlier intake closing and exhaust
    opening
    » LSA is not affected
    If power continues to go up as the cam is advanced beyond 8°, the cam is probably too large
    (especially: the intake closing point is too late), or the engine needs more compression.

    Cam retard
    Retarding the camshaft (the intake & exhaust valves both open & close later) has these general
    effects:
    » cranking pressure is reduced
    » tendency to knock at low speed is reduced
    » low speed power is reduced
    » idle speed is probably reduced
    » idle smoothness is increased
    » peak torque may be reduced, but at higher RPM
    » peak power may be increased
    » intake valve to piston clearance increased
    » exhaust valve to piston clearance reduced
    » traction (for ½ mile, &c. racing) is increased
    » overlap duration is not affected, but engine vacuum may change
    » idle and low speed exhaust note is softer, due to both later intake closing and exhaust opening
    » LSA is not affected
    If power continues to go up as the cam is retarded beyond 4°, the cam is probably too small
    (especially: the overlap is too short, or LSA too wide).
