Why so much inital timing???

Well, considering the cam is a custom grind, I don't believe the cam is too big at all. I'll have to dig up my last compression test numbers. The motor's an absolute screamer. I can't wait to see what it does at the track. Seems to do alright on the street.
Understand I'm not saying the cam is too big, its small actually, I'm saying the int close is killing your dynamic compression.
I'm sure its got power and a blast to drive, but its just not the best it could be.
