what i'm basically after is, in what way does the power band get altered if u move the cam timing round

i have an 18RG, and i wanna know what moving each cam clockwise or anti clockwise can do for it

Probably better to speak in terms of advance and retard.

From what little I understand, advancing inlet cam relative to exhaust improves performance at lower engine speeds. ie. Wider lobe seperation gives better midrange delivery, while narrower lobe seperation gives better top end.

I think it's mentioned on billzilla.com somewhere too

I think you're talking about ignition timing.
