I do the same thing.
When I was drag racing I could move the cam timing one way or another 1/2 a degree at a time on the belt drive.
In other words if I thought my 60 ft times where to slow I might advance the cam 1 degree to make it pull a little harder on the bottom.Well you all get the general idea.
