Where's the Wow?

If I understand correctly RRR is recommending 6 degrees advance on the cam?
That's right. You probably already know this but you have a crank sprocket for +4, 0 and -4 degrees cam timing. If the sprocket slot with the triangular slot in the top is used, the cam should be advanced + 4 degrees. The difference between +4 and +6 degrees is going to be slightly perceptible.... +4 degrees change will be easily noticeable for an experienced driver who is looking for the change but won't make a difference like a new motor.... You're gonna need to find a lot more degreeing error to make a BIG change; one tooth off would be around 15 degrees.

The DCR increase for +4 degrees is less than 0.2 points and just over 0.2 points for +6 degrees. Even at 100 degrees ICL, the DCR works out to be 7.2 or so with your heads and gaskets. Which I think was RRR's overall point on the compression, etc....

And if you do find the damper ring retarded, then the ignition timing has been way retarded too. A possible triple whammy on torque....
