Advancing the inlet cam timing will give you gains in the top end but will drop the bottom end. Toyota uses this in the VVT, VVTi and VVTLi systems, but changes it while the engine is running so that you get the best of both worlds.

Adjusting the cam timing on an otherwise stock engine isnt going to give you a hell of a lot of a performance increase and it would be fair to say that the engineers at Toyota have spent a fair amount of time determining the optimum settings for the cams.

If the car is highly modded then you do stand to make quite a difference, but you really should splurge on some adjustable wheels (they look cooler too) and spend some time and money getting it properly tuned on a dyno.
