no, you are not touching the cams, you are only moving the distribuitor(sp?).

it will help you some, but don't expect big hp gains.

Won't help much unless u got other cams .Might give you a little better torque at lower rpms ,but beware of detonation !!!

if you advance your timing, you should also use higher octane gas.
