Default does cam timing effect lag and full boost?

i went out in an escos last night that has a very similar engine spec to mine (but a std exh cam, i have a bd 10, and he has no headwork, mine does) but is a lot less laggy,
does the fact that my cams (bd10,14) are fully retarded (to make less torque and save my gearbox) have anything to do with this?
his car seemed to start to spool about 1500revs earlier and be on full boost at least 1000 revs earlier than mine
and holds more boost that mine, even tho they should be the same?
and looking at other power graphs on here mine does seeem very laggy compared to others.
could my cam timing have anything to do with this?
what would the difference be if my cams were more advanced?
