OKOKOK.. seriously... explain...
i know what duration and lift is....
what is Lobe Center Separation and Intake Centerline ????
...and what is advance ground in?

With your radix less overlap.
Most of the camshafts being used are in the negative range. Less than X amount of overlap. And low boost at that.
Take the 212/218 @ 114lsa. It has -13* of overlap relative to top dead center. The exhaust valve closes 7* before the piston reaches the top. And the intake valve opens 6* after the piston has reached the top. So theres a gap there of -13* of overlap.
So worrying about overlap with a smallish camshaft shouldn't be a big concern. Obviously, there wont be any bleeding of boost if there isn't really an "overlap" phaze.
A 220 @ 109 has 1 degrees of overlap relative to TDC.
A 220 @ 113 has -7 degrees of overlap relative to TDC.
Up to the cam grinders to decide when they feel the need to back down overlap in fear of bleeding.

ahhhhh... so since it is letting in more air, you want more flow of fuel to even it out?
