I have 4 each brand new turbo grind camshafts  duration arround 268-278 @ 0.050".  110 lobe center . since i'm comverting to roller cam, i'm no need them anymore.

If I use that cams for N/A race engine what would be the consequenses?  or it will be time wasting?

If you're building a N/A race engine around those cams, you'll have other limiting factors than the extra lobe separation angle. Sure, probably not ideal to extract the most N/A HP, but you wouldn't be building an engine for a heads-up class with those cams anyway. Should be fine for index or bracket racing.

You won't notice much of anything with that small difference in lobe separation.
They say that wider lobe angles makes for a wider powerband.
Narrow angles make for peaky motors.
However, a few deg either way never did much in my book.

I used to take the time to dial the cam in perfectly to the cam card specs.
Then I started finding that seldome are all the cams ground as advertized (except SLR's). Most cams will be off a few deg depending on the lobes measured. You can chase your tail all day trying to find a happy medium on wich washers to install on you cam gear.
Or, you can just bolt it together. Measure the lift and run it...

I know others will criticsize my method, but I don't care.

I intend to use the camshafts for 12 laps circuit racing bug. the engine dispalcement 2060cc. i have two each engines which is the running rpm mosly  4000rpm to 7500rpm. that need low end power as well as on hi-rpm.

1. 80stroke X 90.5 bore . DPR light weight crank, CB wedge port 44X37  and fk46 with pauter rocker 1.5
2. 74 stroke X 94 bore.  DPR light weight crank. steve tims srage 2 with webcam 121/125 pauter rocker 1.3

if the 110 lobe center will widen the power range. i thinking that it will be good for my aplication?

the cam i have
Pauter O3E0 ....398" lobe lift 268* @ .050"  110* lobe center
Pauer T7E0.....416" lobe lift 276* @ .050"   110* lobe center
