Yup that's correct. I don't have much incentive to mess with the timing, I actually just put in a hotter thermostat (it was running only around 170 now it's around 195-200) and reduced the advance from its previous 24/44, actually has noticeably more power now everywhere and still feels just as strong at WOT in the higher revs (where I expected it to lose power). I think my hunch of the low compression/cylinder pressures with aluminum heads liking more heat in the chamber was correct.
@Mattax I have experienced the "full heat" soak you mention driving up through the mountains where you're fairly hard on the throttle for minutes at a time (maintaining 65 mph up a 6% grade takes quite a bit of HP). I have a high-flow Milodon water pump, high-flow 195* EMP-Stewart thermostat and ECP aluminum radiator which I hope will be able to reject all that extra heat quickly enough doing road course shenanigans.
