Default Cam Timing

Has any one on this forum ever experimented with cam overlap/timing, this includes standard cams with noticable gains, As mentioned in a my intro i was a mechanic for 15 years and spent my last few tuning for Kostecki engine centre, We played with two BA 5.4lt 4 cams, One had mild cams (the biggest we could go without upgrading valve springs) locked at 0c (std cam gears) and the other had adjustable gears fitted and stock cams, Off memory the BA with adjustabe gears (with -4deg on exhaust) pulled about 40hp more than the cammed BA, My knowlage with WRX's is vague and i only apply the info have on all engines, More fuel + more air = bang, So do the EJ's respond well with the cams dialed in with more overlap?
Before I get a belting about the search function, I did search with no real info.
