Cam retarding?

[Swifty1638]

I was looking into more and more (after talking with andrew) aout retarding my exhaust cam a few degrees, to try and help spool up. After talking to Lampi on the topic, i find even more that people do it often as a way to spool because it allows the exhaust valves to open during the burn, and therefor, the hottest gasses escape to the turbo helping spool. But, it also causes motor damage to valves and such. I was going to just turn the exhaust cam gear a few notches, but does anyone really see a big difference in degreeing theirs? Anyone else do this? How much did it really help spool or not?
