For discussion sake and totally not arguing whatsoever...
That hot of a cam and not needing more initial timing?..

You could be right
But I would still add more initial timing (2 degrees at at time) until he finds the sweet spot.
I have never run an engine at 8 degrees initial.
I would try it and see what happens.
OP - where is your battery located?
What size cable did you use?
Is the negative grounded on the block?

I wanted more initial but increasing slowed cranking even more. Rear mount Battery 1OT Cable to a terminal at firewall near brake pedal then a 12" standard size cable to starter.Starter relay in trunk fed with 1OT as well. All connections are clean and tight.1 OT ground from frame rail to Battery. 1OT from frame rail to engine block. Smaller ground from block to heater motor as well.
