Cams timing and all that

Some while back someone wrote that advancing cam timing improved low end
response.

Now I know that this will result in loss at high end, probably peak
torque will move down the rev range please could someone confirm this?

The crux of the matter is this:  I am gonna run my engine at 7.5:1 as I
want to run silly ammounts of boost.  To help eliminate lag, I was
thinking of running a whole load of ignition advance, and advancing the
cam to give me a tractable ammount of low end off boost.  No I know that
a gain in one area comes with a fall in another... so what pit fall am I
going to get here?
Is the engine going to get upset with the cam timing and refuse to rev
above a certain level? or is there something I just cannot see yet?
