This means the volumetric efficiency (breathing efficiency) and thus the effective displacement of the cylinder is well below 100 percent."

So maybe adding +2 intake degrees to my current +4 exhaust would help to shift the power band lower in rpm (+2,+2), raise Dynamic compression raito (advancing intake valves to close sooner) and reducing overlap (+4 exhaust - 2 intake = +2 exhaust net)

Reset my timing, and see how it drives
Sure you can try it, but its going to be hard to see change as its only 2deg shift, but maybe you can tell from adjusting ECU specs, if you know what certain specs (ignition advance, A/F ) could do before without side affects .
