They make offset keys and offset bushings for adjusting cam timing.

Here is a simple trick. Try advancing the cam to different degrees and check compression with a compression gauge. Whatever setting gives the most compression will give the best low speed power.

This is handy to know when installing a hot cam if you don't want to kill your idle and low speed power.
