Default YFZ 450 Cam Mod

My friend has a YFZ 450 and he's heard about this cam mod. He is not quite sure what it involved, so I'm hoping someone could tell me what it will do and how to do it? Both him and I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Whats the difference between getting the hotmcams or the webb cams and just retarding the timing one tooth?
Thanks for the help

Retarding your exhaust cam one tooth (the cam mod) simply changes your exhaust timing.

A set of cams changes the lift, duration, and timing of the valves. With the web cams, you can also retard the exhaust cam one tooth for a power increase.

retarding the cam sets the timing like the yz450 dirtbike
and I agree with maddog
