Yes.
INCREMENTS!!!
Advancing the cam is a mechanical process, just like advancing a timing on a distributor. Rotating the cam in respect to the crank either advances or retards the cam (depending on which what you rotate). With an adjustible timing chain, you can turn the cam while the timing chain (and crank) is kept static.

well, I've been told the 224/224 on a 114 LSA has a power band from 2500-6XXX...so I don't plan on changing anything up until I get the feel for the cam.

here's my unedgmucated question on this. Tuning. In today's world (HPT, EFILive, & such) why couldn't you just advance or retard the area of concern in your spark tables? My cam comes with a 4* advance that I opted not to dial in (custom cam someone didn't want), but I wonder if you "dial it in", then you are stuck with that advance all throughout the powerband, where as in tuning, you can advance and retard where you need. Only to a certain threshold I do understand. Just asking.
