Why so much inital timing???

So yeah. There's more in there for DCR. You could go to a .040 cometic head gasket. Pick your static compression up to 9.92 and DCR to 8.05. IF that really matters to you.

Thanks. I'm gonna run the piss out of it as is. It runs very well for what it is. I'll report back with ET's and mph numbers. The .040" head gaskets won't work for me as my pistons are .015" out of the hole which will put my quench distance too close for comfort. I appreciate the input. The combo is what it is. I was just wondering if 28* of initial timing was out of the question. I received the answer on the first page. The last two pages of bickering have been pretty entertaining though. Let's see how long we can keep it going. LOL I wonder if the dude I ignored is still responding. Something tells me he is. :rofl:
