It is always better to use adjustable cam gears, fine tuning the lift points will change the characteristics of your motor to have a better torque or horsepower curve. I highly recommend doing some research on how changing the degrees of your cam lobes will change the characteristics of your motor.
Let's not make assumptions, please leave as much detail as possible!

thanks, do you know if this information is right ?

Max valve lift - 11.5 mm
Intake opening 15 deg (BTDC)
Intake closing 45 deg (ABDC)
INTAKE lift - 11.5 mm, duration 240 @1mm


EXHAUST
centerline = 107.50
Max valve lift - 10.5 mm
Exhaust opening 45 deg (BBDC)
Exhaust closing 10 deg (ATDC)

each engine will be different slightly the only way to know for sure is to measure your engine, refer to this video for help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up00AC7QcZs
