Default A question for those with Force Induction

With force induction you can't have alot of valve overlap right?
If you do you loose alot of boost through the exhaust system.

But the fun cam lobes of a V-Tech engine have $h!t load of overlap.

So then how do you turboed guys compensate for that?
Do you dial out the valve overlap with adjustable cams gears?

Please do tell, spread the

I had a set made. It took 10sets to get it right. No overlap and HUGE lift. Works Great!!!!

Does dialing out overlap have any adverse effects?
Like hotter exhaust temps(exhaust cam advanced), or lowered effective compression by later closing intake valves(intake cam retarded)?
