The dyno motors were tested at higher total timing (34-36). We were running much higher octane though (110 sunaco).
32 degrees ain't bad and much safer with low octane fuel. The bathtub chambers do like plenty of timing. 8-10 initial will help back the total down also.
You need to get that WBO2 hooked up. Do not expect the engine to like running at stoich (14.7 to 1). Mine likes 12.75-13 at idle. The guage will be more of a reference. It is effected by plenty of variables. Cam, timing and exhaust leaks will make it read funny. I was told long ago to use it as a reference to find where the engine likes to run at. This A/F varies at different rpms and loads.
Does the engine run any differnt with the last head/ valve setup?
