Faisal,
I don't think that it would make that much of a diff playing with the cam settings, maybe a 500rpm here or there. We just leave them at zero and rev it higher.
However, do a search cause there was a whole bunch of discussion on the subject a while back! Allot of testing too!

For which cams? They are not all timed equally!

Should we assume the cams are the HKS 272s you mention in your signature? If so, I suggest a different set of cams altogether.

Mark..what's up? Well to tell you the truth I could do with the extra 500rpms. Right now I have it at zero and well..since I already have the cams and gears installed I wouldn't mind fiddling around to see what would be a decent setting.

Yes.HKS 272's
Lol...well I've had these cams for close to 2 years but since I was still doing upgrades I never bothered to set them. They were just left on zero. But now..coming to the end of the project so to speak, I would like to try a setting on it to see if it makes any difference at all...
Out of curiousity, what cams would you recommend?

It aint half as bad as it sounds...2.0 with a 37R...the 0.63 back housing really helps and it spools just like my past 35R with the 0.82 back end.
Full boost comes in around 5500rpms(have to check back the data to confirm this but I believe this is where it's at..cant always look while I'm driving and someone else does the tuning so he has all the logs) and goes up to a redline of 8500rpms.
But as I said....no noticeable difference between the 35R and the 37R.
so I'm perfectly satisfied.

The HKS 272s really don't have the ramp profile or duration you need to get best results from a turbo that size. A set of more aggressive, longer duration cams such as JUN 272s will give better spool characteristics AND better top end power. The difference will be well worth the expense.

^Thanks....makes sense....
I wanted the JUN in the beginning but they were so damn expensive compared to the HKS.
