B20 Cam Gear options 140-160

Planetman is right, I bought a used set of steel gears in great condition from Ken.

I'm curious about two things though:

Advancing the K cam 4-5 degrees? This is done through clocking the cam gear a tooth or two? What do I gain from this versus running it at 0 degrees (aligning the marks on the crank/cam gears)?

Milling the timing gears in half. To reduce rotating mass?

Thanks for all the input. I'm getting excited to gather the pieces I'll need.
