Maybe advancing the stock cam a few degrees would do the same, pushing the powerband down and boosting the torque.

Think of it as the difference between the standard Metro and the Metro XFi camshafts. Didn't know until recently that the cam timing was different, with the XFi being milder between the two ( as if the Metro cam wasn't mild enough ).

There were a couple people making cam grinds, and the result was them going out of business because for power, the new grinds just weren't worth the coin.

As far as adjusting timing, there are only a few degrees of adjustment available before diesel knock becomes diesel broke. VERY tight inside this engine. I think that can timing is something that would require dyno time to get it right and get the most gains from it.
